1925 Photograph of a rare loss for Bobby Jones during the height of his career and posing with the man who beat him, Willie MacFarlane. Jones and MacFarlane were tied and went to a playoff before the Atlanta superstar lost to the veteran. It was the longest title match in golf history with the first 18 hole playoff resulting in a tie again, forcing a second playoff which MacFarlane won by one stroke! Issued by Underwood and Underwood and pulled straight from their archives being offered here for the first time ever!
