1928 US Amateur Championship at Brae Burn Programme - Bobby Jones Winner - items from any Bobby Jones Major Championship wins are few and far between, with very few originals from victories hitting the marketplace. Offered in this lot is one of those items, a 90 year old programme from Jones win at the 1928 United States Amateur at Brae Burn Country Club. This item ranks as one of the scarcest Jones items. A scarcely seen programme in its own right, the 1928 United States Amateur Championship saw Bobby Jones at the most dominant stage of his career. This match play event saw Jones post a staggering double digit triumph in each of his last three matches on the way to the title - quarter-final match (14 and 13 equalling the most decisive win in the events history), the semi-final Friday September 14 (13 and 12), and the route completing final win was a 10 and 9 victory over T Phillip Perkins, who was a top competitor of the day as the reigning British Amateur Champion. It truly was a record setting Amateur for Jones, claiming his fourth of a record five career USGA Amateur Championships (please note missing cover taped spine), together with Bobby Jones Original Hickories by Sidney L Matthew signed by author
