1922 U.S. Open Composite Photo

Picturing Bobby Jones

As you've no doubt seen by now, this Winter Golf Auction by Green Jacket Auctions represents one of the greatest sales of golf photographs in history. From Old Tom Morris & the origins of professional golf to Bobby Jones & the founding of Augusta National, many of the offered photographs are among the finest such examples in the hobby.

        This is an original 1922 composite photograph of participants in the 1922 U.S. Open. Included in this photo are Bobby Jones, Jim Barnes, Bob Gardner and Abe Mitchell. Quite incredibly, when this photo was taken, Bobby Jones had not yet won a U.S. Open title. He would do so the following year in 1923.
