'King' Bobby Jones & Jock Hutchison 1930 US Open at Interlachen AP Photo - July 10th
Carrying the original photo classification is this crystal clear Bobby Jones Grand Slam 1930 US Open with playing partner Jock Hutchison at Interlachen just prior to the first round of the third leg stateside in Minneapolis, Minnesota. Star amateur Bobby Jones would finish as the only golfer par or better at -1, with runner-up MacDonald Smith (+1) awarded the winner's prize of $1,000.
George Trevor, sportswriter for the New York Sun, would phrase Jones' four Major triumphs in 1930 as Jones "stormed the impregnable quadrilateral of golf." This event captivated the minds of most 1930's Americans whether they were golf fans or not, offering the opportunity to see one of the grandest moments in the Golden Age of Sport, Bobby Jones' accomplishment as the only player to win the pre-Masters era Grand Slam. Like photos in this category have recently achieved big numbers and rightfully so. An Associated Press photo, its verso carries the below corresponding caption and additional markings.
