Albert Wenzel "Red" Brosch (November 8, 1911 â December 10, 1975) was an American professional golfer.
Brosch was born in Farmingdale, New York, on November 8, 1911, to Henry J. Brosch and his wife Catherine.
Brosch turned pro in the 1930s. He primarily worked primarily as a club pro. However, Brosch also played some as a touring professional on what is now known as the PGA Tour. He made 125 cuts between 1933 and 1962. Broach's career was interrupted by his service in World War II. He was drafted in 1943 and reached the rank of corporal.
Brosch was the first player to shoot a round of 60 on the Tour, in the third round of the 1951 Texas Open. He went on to finish fourth, shooting a final-round 70 (268), three strokes out of the Dutch 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. Brosch won the Long Island Open ten times, the Long Island PGA Championship nine times, and the Metropolitan PGA six times. He success was so great at the Long Island PGA that the tournament was jocularly referred to as a "benefit" for Brosch because he reliably picked up the first place cheque.
In June 1936, he married Ellen Fredericka Blixt.
Brosch died on December 10, 1975, and was interred in Long Island National Cemetery.
In 1975, Brosch was honored as the PGA Metropolitan SectionâÂÂs second Sam Snead Award recipient for his contributions to golf, the PGA and the Metropolitan Section.
