 Bobby Jones Tees it Up

at the 1940 Masters Wire Photo

    This is a wonderful original photograph of Bobby Jones teeing off at the 1940 Masters Tournament, with 1938 Masters Champ Henry Picard admiring Jones' shot while waiting for his turn at the tee. Very few photographs of Bobby Jones at the 1940 Masters Tournament seem to exist. This is primarily due to the fact that Bobby Jones withdrew after the 2nd round (there was not cut back then), so he wasn't around when more newspapers were there covering the weekend.

    This original 1940 photograph measures 8x10" and is in excellent condition.
