Never Before Seen Original Photos - Bobby Jones & 1925 US Open at Worcester CC - Called Penalty!


The 1925 U.S. Open at Worcester CC was historic, not because Scottish pro Willie MacFarlane bested Bobby Jones to win in a playoff but rather what Bobby Jones did to propel his legacy to new heights. Here is an album of 31 never before seen original photographs, almost all with individual golfers or spectators on the golf course, taken by a fan. Included are 3 1/4” by 2 3/8" photos of Jones, Hagen, MacFarlane, Kirkwood, Cyril Walker, Johnny Farrell, Macdonald Smith, Francis Ouimet, and more. Each photograph is identified in white ink either above or below the sixteen album pages. The Open championship was historic on many fronts. To begin with Jones, playing in the first round, called a penalty on himself because he believed that his ball moved. Even though his opponent and the course judges did not see this and were willing to not charge Jones a penalty stroke, Jones would hear none of it and that decision ultimately cost him the title. It was the last time that the first two rounds were played on the same day and the last time Francis Ouimet would compete in an Open championship, missing the playoff by one stroke. Jones and MacFarlane tied the morning playoff round and in the afternoon round, they were both tied going to the 18th hole but a par by MacFarlane and a bogey by Jones ensured the first Scotsman to win since Alex Smith in 1910. The album even has a torn portion of the program glued to the first page. Most of the photos are loose although some are still glued to the album pages. Two have some edge wear. Altogether, the album represents a U.S. Open that William Richardson of the New York Times called “the greatest Championship of them all.”
