This image comes from the brillant photographic eye of George Sealy Pietzecker, who rose to fame chronicling Ouimet's win at the 1913 U.S. Open. He received his acclaim for his works great clarity of focus and presentation of golf's greatest stars as the official photographer of the United States Golf Association. Any Pietzecker originals are extremely desirable and scarce in our hobby. The reknonwed chronicler of the country's national championship and champions, Pietzecker had his early studio in St. Louis when this image dates to.
