1921 US Open at Columbia CC U.S.G.A. Badge #91 - Jim Barnes Win


The 1921 U.S. Open Golf Tournament was held at Columbia Country Club in Chevy Chase, Maryland, from July 21–22, 1921. It was the 25th edition of the championship and marked one of the most exciting and dramatic competitions in its history. The winner Jim Barnes, a professional golfer originally from England, captured his second U.S. Open title (his first was in 1916). He won with a total score of 289, finishing 9 strokes ahead of the runners-up Walter Hagen and Fred McLeod, both former champions.

Barnes led the tournament from start to finish, beginning with an impressive opening round of 69. He maintained his lead throughout, culminating in a final round of 72. President Warren G. Harding attended the final round and presented the championship cup and medal to Barnes, marking a unique occasion in U.S. Open history. Columbia Country Club provided a challenging layout, with tight fairways and difficult greens that tested the players' precision and skill. This event was part of Jim Barnes's remarkable run of victories during the early 1920s, solidifying his place among the greats of the era. His consistent play and ability to handle pressure distinguished him as the clear champion in this historic tournament. The series badge offered here is a scarce artifact from the tournament. Only a few have come to auction over the years.
