Wow. Long before Augusta National existed at all, here is an original copy of the July 13, 1930 Augusta Chronicle featuring Bobby Jones after winning the 1930 US Open - the 3rd leg of his eventual Grand Slam. We can only presume that this newspaper was saved by a golfer admiring the Atlantan Bobby Jones for his accomplishments, as Jones had yet to make his mark on the city of Augusta to which his his name is now synonymous. 

 

This original 1930 newspaper is in very good condition, and contains great content regarding Bobby Jones during his Grand Slam quest.
