1927 Bobby Jones 'Wins the US Amateur' Trophy Presentation with W.C. Fownes
How important was this photograph and the moment in which it captured? This exact photograph is used on Oakmont Country Club's Henry & William Fownes Founder and family page on the club's website 98 years later. The trophy presentation by W.C. Fownes to golf star Bobby Jones in 1927 was picturesque, as it featured both in their respective rain gear, after Jones endured inclement weather for a U.S. Amateur triumph over Chick Evans. The crystal clear shot captures Jones from head to toe with legendary pioneer W.C. Fownes, son of the Oakmont founder Henry with the USGA prize. Pacific and Atlantic is stamped on the verso accompanied by the appropriate newspaper caption and date as well. Please examine the accompanying lot photos for a detailed condition report.
