Lawson Little Signed Cut with 1935 US Amateur Wire Photo
Over the 1934 and 1935 amateur campaigns Lawson Little was as dominant as any simon pure golfer in the history of the game; and yes that includes Bobby Jones, Jack Nicklaus and Tiger Woods in the conversation. Little would capture both the U.S. and British Amateur titles in 1934, and to put an explanation point on his superior play he repeated the feat in 1935 capturing both amateur titles again. Over this stretch he would win 32 consecutive matches in the two events. This dominace which was not previously accomplished, and is most likely to never be seen again earned Little the title for his feat of the "Little Slam". This lot features a signature cut from Little in black ink that measures 2 3/4" x 2", and an original wire photo that measures 9" x 7". Wire photo displays expected editorial marks.
James Spence Authentication (JSA) has reviewed this signature, and their letter of authenticity comes with this lot.
