This item ranks as one of the scarcest Jones' items The Golf Auction has had the pleasure of auctioning. A scarcely seen program in it's own right, coming in good condition with scuffs to the covers as well as separation at the bottom of the covers. Please see extensive photographs to the left for further detail. The 1928 United States Amateur Championship saw Bobby Jones at the most dominant stage of his career. This match play event saw Jones post a staggering double digit triumph in each of his last three matches on the way to the title - quarter-final match (14 and 13 equaling the most decisive win in the events history), the semi-final Friday September 14 (13 and 12), and the route completing final win was a 10 and 9 victory over T.
