1928 Walter Hagen 'Match Play with Archie Compston' Large Sweeping Action Photo
This photo was taken during Hagen and Compston's infamous 72 hole challenge match in which Compston walloped Hagen 18 & 17. Walter Hagen would get the last laugh however, beating Compston shortly afterward at the Open Championship. Issued by Underwood and Underwood and stamped on the back with a full paper caption, this is one of the finest images of Hagen from this famous match we have ever handled and offered here for the first time ever! There is some chipping at the corners and wear at the top from news-room handling, but otherwise it presents really well. A statuesque work of golf art! 8 x 10"
