William Torbet Gray Milne (13 July 1951 – 31 January 2023) was a Scottish professional golfer. As an amateur, he played in the 1973 Walker Cup. He turned professional soon afterwards and had immediate success, winning the Lusaka Open and the Northern Open before the middle of 1974, as well as a large prize for making a hole-in-one in the Cock o' the North tournament. He played on the European Tour from 1974 to 1980 but struggled for success, his best result being runner-up in the 1979 French Open. From 1981 he became a club professional, playing twice in the PGA Cup. Amateur career In 1972 Milne played for the Great Britain & Ireland youth team (under-21) against Continental Europe at Glasgow Gailes GC. He also made his debut for the Scottish senior team in the Men's Home Internationals. In 1973 he played for Scotland in the European Amateur Team Championship in Portugal. Scotland led after the qualifying round, helped by Milne's 71 which was only matched by two other players. Scotland reached the final but lost narrowly to England. Milne played in all six matches, winning five and only losing against England in the foursomes. His performances saw him selected for the Walker Cup in Brookline, Massachusetts, which was announced a few days later. The contest was played in late August, the United States winning 14 matches to 10. Milne lost both his foursomes but won both single matches, beating Mark Pfeil and Mike Killian. In September Milne played in the Men's Home Internationals, Scotland finishing runners-up to England. Professional career Milne turned professional in late 1973.
