  en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bobby_Jones_(golfer) "Robert Tyre Jones Jr. (March 17, 1902 – December 18, 1971) was an American amateur golfer who was one of the most influential figures in the history of the sport; he was also a lawyer by profession. Jones founded and helped design the Augusta National Golf Club, and co-founded the Masters Tournament. The innovations that he introduced at the Masters have been copied by virtually every professional golf tournament in the world." A photo from the Hulton Archive might have been taken on the same occasion, since they seem to be wearing the same clothes. See www.gettyimages.com/detail/news-photo/bobby-jones-champio..., dated 16th December 1926. In 1926, Jones won both the British Open and the U. S. Open championships.
