Archibald Edward Wones Compston (1893 – 8 August 1962) was an English professional golfer. Through the 1920s he built a reputation as a formidable match play golfer, in an era when many professionals made more money from "challenge" matches against fellow pros, or wealthy amateurs, than from tournament golf. Compston was born in Wolverhampton. In 1930, Compston nearly derailed Bobby Jones's bid for the Grand Slam at Hoylake - his third round of 68 took the lead from Jones, but inexplicably his form deserted him in the final round, and Compston shot 82 to finish down the field.

  • Archibald Edward Wones Compston (Wolverhampton, 1893 - 1962) was een Engels golfprofessional. Compston stond bekend als een van de beste matchplay-spelers uit zijn tijd. Hij verdiende meer door tegen collega's of amateurs te spelen dan in toernooien. Na de Tweede Wereldoorlog werd hij professional op The Wentworth Club. Hij was de coach van de toekomstige koning Edward VIII. Later verhuisde hij naar Bermuda, waar hij ging lesgeven op de Mid Ocean Club. In 1925 eindigde hij op de 2de plaats bij het Brits Open op Prestwick, achter Jim Barnes. Het zou zijn beste resultaat blijven. (nl)
