Offered here is a scarce original program from Bobby Jones' victory at the 1929 U.S. Open. While Bobby Jones' 1930 victories often get all of the attention, original programs from Jones' "other" Majors are often ever more scarce. This program comes from Jones' victory at Winged Foot and the 1929 U.S. Open, which Jones won in a 36 hole playoff over Al Espinosa. In that 36 hole playoff, Bobby Jones beat Al Espinosa by 23 strokes - one of the greatest performances of his illustrious career.

This rare program is listed the 2004 Gilchrist's Guide to Golf Collectibles at $5000
