Francis Ouimet US AM 9/5/31 Crisp Trophy Press Photo
"Francis Ouimet, wearing broad smile,.." the verso caption of this 1931 US Amateur trophy ceremony photo perfectly describes the proud champion's facial expression while holding his most recent prize. While many consider Bobby Jones to be the greatest amateur golfer ever to play, Francis Ouimet is known as the "father of amateur golf" in the United States. Ouimet won the 1913 U.S. Open and the U.S. Amateur Championship in 1914 and 1931. With exactly 17 years in between to the day, celebrated amateur golfer Ouimet out-dueled Jack Westland 6 and 5 in the 1931 US Amateur final match in Chicago at Beverly. It would prove to be Francis Ouimet's third and final major.
