Alfred John "Jack" Westland (December 14, 1904 – November 3, 1982) was an American politician who served as a member of the United States House of Representatives from 1953 to 1965. He represented the Second Congressional District of Washington as a Republican. He was also an accomplished amateur golfer.

Westland was born in Everett, Washington.[1] He was elected to the House in 1952, taking the seat previously held by Democrat Scoop Jackson who had won election to the United States Senate. Westland was re-elected in 1954, 1956, 1958, 1960, and 1962. Westland voted in favor of the Civil Rights Acts of 1957,[2] 1960,[3] and 1964,[4] as well as the 24th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution.[5] He was defeated in 1964 by Democrat Lloyd Meeds. Westland subsequently moved to California, where he lived until his death in 1982.[6]

Golf career

[edit]

Westland was an accomplished amateur golfer for over 25 years. He won the 1929 French Amateur.[7][8] He finished runner-up to Francis Ouimet in the 1931 U.S. Amateur.[9] He won the 1933 Western Amateur and played on three Walker Cup teams (1932,[10] 1934,[11] 1953[12]). He was also non-playing captain of the 1961 team.[1][7] In 1952, at the age of 47, Westland won the U.S. Amateur over Al Mengert.[13] He is the oldest golfer ever to win the Amateur.

Westland also won the Pacific Northwest Amateur four times (1938, 1939, 1940, 1951), the Washington State Amateur three times (1924, 1947, 1948) and the Chicago District Amateur three times (1927, 1929, 1934).[7]

In 1978, Westland was inducted into the Pacific Northwest Golf Association's Hall of Fame.[7]
