1926 Original Bobby Jones Wire Photo

       This magnificent 8 x 10 Acme Newspictures Wire photo captures Bobby Jones and his entourage (wife, parents, grandfather) on board the "reception boat" Macon after just having disembarked from the overseas journey aboard the S.S. Aquitania. Jones was arriving home from his British Open Championship victory at Royal Lytham & St. Anne's and would be honored with a ticker tape parade in New York City on July 2nd, 1926. He quickly then rushed to Columbus, Ohio and won the U.S. Open at Scioto CC to become the first man ever to win both the U.S. and British Opens in the same year.
