Original Bobby Jones 1948
Masters Wire Photo
In 1948, an
aging and hurting Bobby Jones said goodbye to the Masters Tournament forever.
Few pieces of memorabilia exist from Jones' last Masters; but presented here is
a great original wire photo depicting Bobby Jones in action during a practice round
before his last hurrah in front of the crowds at Augusta National. The 46
year old Bobby Jones had long been surpassed in golfing ability - but that
didn't stop the legendary Ben Hogan and Bobby Locke from taking a moment to
stand back and watch one of the greatest of all time during their practice round at the 1948
Masters Tournament.
