Golf career
Tellier came to the United States to play in the 1913 U.S. Open at The Country Club in Brookline, Massachusetts. He finished tied for fourth.
After a short return visit to France, Tellier returned to the U.S. in 1914 to become head professional at Canoe Brook Country Club in Summit, New Jersey. He moved to The Country Club, site of the 1913 U.S. Open, in 1916 and to Brae Burn Country Club in West Newton, Massachusetts in 1919.
1921 Massachusetts Open
Tellier's only significant win came at the 1921 Massachusetts Open a month before his death.
Death
On 3 November 1921, Tellier committed suicide at Brae Burn Country Club in West Newton, Massachusetts. He was found hanging by a small rope in a shed on the golf course. The motive of the suicide was not known but family members told authorities that he had not been feeling well for quite some time. Fellow professional golfers Arthur Reid and Wilfrid Reid were Tellier's brothers-in-law.
