Chick Evans, the Chicago amateur who won both the U.S. Open and the U.S. Amateur in 1916, is the golfer named in this glass negative. The George Grantham Bain Collection came from the Bain News Service, a New York agency that supplied newspapers with photographs in the early twentieth century. The record gives no date, and the title comes from caption data that has not been verified. Evans later founded a scholarship fund for caddies, which adds context for a golfer of his era.
