He traveled to America in 1895 and 1897 and eventually opened his own shop in New York City. He soon began designing courses in the U.S. and became famous for the many he designed in Florida and California, including the Rio Hondo Country Club, Los Serranos, Santa Ana Country Club, Lake Elsinore Golf Club for the Southern California Athletic Club, Lake Norconian Golf Club and many more.
