Ouimet Sets New Mark At Amateur Golf Tourney 1932 Wire Photo - September 14th
The defending US Amateur winner Francis Ouimet, the Father of Amateur Golf, had done what no one had done in the history of the storied tradition prior when he carded a 5-under 30 on The Country Club of Brookline's opening 9 holes! All smiles as he is seen strolling down the fairway with his foe George Voight who likely knew it wasn't meant to be that day rather quickly. This clear shot with the darkest darks and lightest lights remains in good condition with a spot of discoloration across the legs. Adhered to the verso is the corresponding media caption.
