Albert Wenzel "Red" Brosch (November 8, 1911 – December 10, 1975)[1] was an American professional golfer.

Early life

Brosch was born in Farmingdale, New York, on November 8, 1911, to Henry J. Brosch and his wife Catherine. In June 1936, he married Ellen Fredericka Blixt.

Golf career

Brosch worked primarily as a club pro but also played on the PGA Tour, making 125 cuts between 1933 and 1962. He was the first player to shoot a round of 60 on the Tour, in the third round of the 1951 Texas Open.[1] He went on to finish fourth, shooting a final-round 70 (268), three strokes out of the E.J. Harrison-Doug Ford playoff. Three weeks later, Brosch turned in his top PGA Tour performance, a runner-up finish at the St. Petersburg Open. He fell by six strokes to winner Jim Ferrier.

As a club pro, he worked primarily in the New York City area, including Bethpage, Cherry Valley Club, and Sands Point Golf Club. He won the Long Island Open 10 times,[1] the Long Island PGA nine times,[2] and the Metropolitan PGA six times.

Military service

He was drafted in 1943 and served in World War II, attaining the rank of corporal.

Death and legacy

Brosch died on December 10, 1975, and was interred in Long Island National Cemetery. Brosch was honored in 1975 as the PGA Metropolitan Section’s second Sam Snead Award recipient for his contributions to golf, the PGA and the Metropolitan Section.[3]
