Bobby Jones completely dominated the amateur golf ranks from 1923 to 1930. Though he never turned pro, Jones defeated many of the game’s top professionals and is considered one of the most influential and innovative figures in golfing history. Though Jones retired from competitive play after 1930, he occasionally returned to the links as this 1945 Type 1 photo captures. This event was held in Montevideo, Uruguay, where he teamed up with amateur champion Carlos Borgnia in an 18-hole match against professionals Carlos Dappiaggi and Pascual Viola. Not many action shots of Jones exist from this later period of his career, and this one is particularly notable for being the only known image of the golf legend in Uruguay. The photo shows nice toning with wide white borders. The reverse has the Acmenewspictures stamp, original caption slug with 10-1-45 date stamp, and various pencil notations. The photograph measures 9” x 7” and has been encapsulated and graded a Type 1 by PSA.
