1920 U.S. Amateur
Contestant's Badge
The 1920 US Amateur Championship was
played at Engineers Country Club in Roslyn, NY and the field was loaded with
stars-Bobby Jones, Francis Ouimet, Chick Evans, Tommy Armour, and Jess Sweetser,
to name a few. Evans would win his second Amateur title, besting Ouimet in the
finals. This badge was owned and worn by a great Philadelphia area player named
J. Woos "Woody" Platt and he made it all the way to the quarter-finals. This
badge is a beautiful example with gorgeous enamels and is the oldest US Amateur
badge we've ever handled.
