1932 Francis Ouimet US Amateur Original Photo - September 11
"The 1932 Champion Makes Bid for 1933 Amateur Golf Champ." titled this stunning Francis Ouimet full-body follow-through original photo which was ahead a year and should have said '31 champ makes bid for '32. It was 19 years after Ouimet's storied 1913 US Open win in which he and 10-year-old caddy Eddie Lowery defeated Ted Ray, Harry Vardon and the field. Ouimet captured his first of two US Amateur wins in 1914. While many consider Bobby Jones to be the greatest amateur golfer ever to play, Francis Ouimet is known as the "father of amateur golf" in the United States and rightfully so. Ross Somerville would capture the title at Five Farms, spoiling Ouimet's title defense. This photo carries its affixed corresponding caption stamped 9/11/32. Additionally there is a Wide World photography stamp on the verso. 7" x 9"
