Rare 1913 U.S. Open Pictorial

featuring Ouimet, Vardon and Ray

        Yes, even back in 1913, challenging for the U.S. Open could get a golfer on the cover of a magazine. Presented here is a rare pictorial depicting Ouimet, Vardon and Ray at the 1913 U.S. Open. Newspaper archives have long been the source of most print accounts of the 1913 U.S. Open, but this rare New England version of The Youth's Companion not only showcases the tournament that put U.S. golf on the map, but even includes a large photo of the tournament.
