The record names the golfer Harry Vardon, though the title comes from unverified caption data, so the identification is worth holding loosely. Vardon, a Jersey-born professional, won the British Open six times and the 1900 U.S. Open, and his exhibition tours helped popularize the sport in America. The overlapping grip he favored still bears his name. The glass negative belongs to the Bain News Service collection, a New York agency that supplied photographs of sports and news to newspapers in the early twentieth century.
