1928 Walter Hagen 'British Open Champion Drinks from the Claret Jug' Photo
This closely depicted action shot of Walter Hagen is unlike the others. Fresh off winning his third British Open Championship in 1928, this crystal clear shot caught Hagen taking a drink from the famous Claret Jug trophy! The Champion Golfer of the Year tradition remains intact nearly a century later. His thirst is relinquished aboard the SS Mauretania as he headed back to the United States, this uniquely candid photograph captures Hagen's personality like few seen before. Produced by the International News with the standard stamp method on the verso accompanied by the corresponding caption. 8" x 10"
