Very cool.  An excerpt from his bio:

" The second-place finish to Laurie Auchterlonie was the highest by an amateur in the Open, and rather than collect the $100 prize, Travis asked the USGA to reserve $75 for a trophy. The remaining $25 was given to his playing companion, Alex Smith, whom Travis thought displayed "thoroughly sportsmanlike spirit throughout.""

Is this possibly the earliest known record of gamesmanship?  "Hey buddy you tried hard, I don't really need this prize pool.  Take this cash and maybe invest it in your game."

But seriously that's a very cool thing he did both the instance above and his whole story.
