This is a PSA Type 1 original photograph of Bobby Jones receiving the US Open Trophy at the 1929 US Open at Winged Foot. Jones is pictured next to USGA President Findlay Douglas and Runner-up Al Espinosa. If Espinosa looks at little shellshocked, it is for good reason. After Bobby Jones and Al Espinosa were tied after 4 rounds, they engaged in a 36 hole playoff. What happened in that playoff? Well, Bobby Jones beat Espinosa by an astounding 23 shots! PSA Type 1. 6" x 8".
