The great Francis Ouimet had many accomplishments in the game of golf, but one that he was particularly proud of was becoming the first non-Briton to be named Captain of the Royal & Ancient in 1951. Here is that iconic image of Ouimet in his red R&A jacket - the original painting of which hangs at the R&A in St Andrews. 

This vintage print of Francis Ouimet proudly wearing his R&A jacket contains a high grade autograph of Francis Ouimet. This autographed print was found in the Francis Ouimet Fund's archives, where it has no doubt been stored since before Francis Ouimet passed away in 1967. Ouimet's exceptional signature is in his preferred green ink. 14" x 20". Comes rolled in a tube.
