Jock Hutchison Oversize George Pietzcker Golf Swing Photo - Framed - Excellent Condition

The camera eye which captured this image was George Pietzcker, a remarkable photographer from St. Louis, who covered the golf seen from the early 1910's till mid 1930's. During this time period, he was the official photographer for the United States Golf Association creating a visual record of the country's national championships and champions. From this relationship comes the original photograph contained in this lot of Jock Hutchison, winner of the the 1920 PGA Championship and the 1921 Open Championship. Hutchison, in winning the Open Championship in 1921, became the first United States based player to win the Open. Hutchison was also one of the Honorary Starters for the Masters Tournament when he was physically well enough to do so.It comes front stamped with the early Pietzcker, St. Louis Clemens Ave. marking. Original Pietzcker's are seldom seen especially from this early St. Louis time period prior to him moving his studio to Miami Beach, Fl in the mid-1930's. Pietzcker's passing would come in December, 1971, the same month and year as Bobby Jones, leaving a rich visual legacy of golf's Golden Age. Image measures 18" x 16", and the frame 28" x 24". Excellent Condition. Authenticity paperwork for this item comes from PGA Reach who have consigned this piece.
