1928 Johnny Farrell 'New King Of National Open' Playoff Win Over Bobby Jones Original Photo
Johnny Farrell did the unthinkable. Maybe we won't go that far, but beating Bobby Jones in his prime on the biggest stage in golf was a highly significant accomplishment most couldn't lay claim to. Standing proudly, Farrell had just bested Jones in a 36-hole playoff by a single stroke - 143 to 144. Corresponding caption on the verso sums up the story as well: "The photograph shows Johnnie Farrell, Quaker Ridge Pro, with his winning smile after beating Bobby Jones in a play-off match in which he won by one stroke, with a score of 143." Please inspect the accompanying lot photos for a detailed condition report. 6" x 8"
