Jerome D. Travers is pictured playing at Baltusrol, the Springfield, New Jersey club where he won the 1915 U.S. Open. Travers was one of the most celebrated American amateurs of his day, winning the U.S. Amateur four times. The glass negative is part of the George Grantham Bain Collection, made by a New York news service that supplied photographs to newspapers. The record gives no date, and the title comes from caption information the agency recorded, so the exact day of the exposure is unconfirmed.
