Harry Williams burst on the scene in 1931 at the age of 16, the most scintillating talent ever seen in Australian golf. Australian Amateur Champion several times and constantly Victorian Amateur Champion through the decade, Harry Williams was offered and rejected a fortune to join Gene Sarazen on the lucrative US professional tour.
Yet within a few years the hopes held forhim had disappeared. Had his father belted him once too often? Or his mother too constantly indulged him? Or was it that Harry was swept away by the establishment and changes in the organisation of the sport? Like two other Australian sporting champions of the era, Phar Lap and Les D'arcy, the enigmatic Harry Williams departed the sporting arena and left us with poignant memories of a brilliant career that ended in tragedy.
