1922 Jess Sweetser 'Young Star Wins the U.S. Amateur' Important Early Photo
Jess Sweetser was one of the earliest American golf stars. He won the U.S. Amateur in 1922 and then became the first U.S. born player to win the British Amateur in 1926. The offered photograph captures him being carried off the course by his fans after his famous 1922 victory! This is his earliest image we have ever seen and it comes fresh out of a prominent archive, offered here for the first time ever! The photo is a slight restrike from the 1930's but it presents beautifully.
