The 2 great amateurs, Bobby Jones and Chick Evans, met in the finals of the 1927 US Amateur at Minikahda Club in Minnesota. Though they acted cordial to each other, there was apparently no love lost between the two Champions. At the 1927 US Amateur, Bobby Jones would prove triumphant and drub Evans in their final match by the score of 8 & 7. 

 

This is an original photograph of Bobby Jones and Chick Evans posing together at the 1927 US Amateur. This photo was taken on the day of their final round - likely right before the gentlemen teed off to start their match. Even better, this photograph was taken by legendary golf photographer George Pietzcker, and the photograph bears his mark. 

 

5" x 8" visible image. Professionally matted and framed to an overall size of 14 1/2" x 17 1/2".
