Dated August 31, 1908, this glass negative records a golf match featuring Alex Smith, a Scottish-born professional who was among the leading players in American golf in the early twentieth century. Smith won the U.S. Open in 1906 and again in 1910. The picture comes from the George Grantham Bain Collection, made by the Bain News Service, a New York photo agency that supplied newspapers with news pictures. The title comes from caption information the agency recorded and has not been independently verified.
