Edward 'Ted' Ray Signed Cut on Matted Photo
In tandem with a black and white post-swing image is this difficult penmanship from the late, great Ted Ray in this lot to culminate in a fine example of his signature. Edward "Ted" Ray was a great British golfer, with a career that spanned decades. Ray won 2 Major tournaments, the 1912 Open Championship and the 1920 US Open. Ray was born in Jersey, the same island country that brought us Harry Vardon. It was in fact Vardon that Ray defeated by four strokes in 1912 to claim the Claret Jug. The following year, Ray joined Vardon on an exhibition tour in the United states that culminated at the 1913 US Open. The 20 year old Francis Ouimet stunned the Brits, who were heavily favored, Beating Ray and Vardon by 5 strokes in a playoff. Ray and Vardon's chance for redemption came at the 1920 US Open, where Ray was victorious by one stroke over Vardon, Jock Hutchison, and two others. Ray left his pencil signature on this triangle cut, with inaugural 1927 Ryder Cup participant George Gadd on the reverse. James Spence Authentication (JSA) has reviewed this signature and their auction letter of authenticity comes with this lot.
