[edit] Summary

Description

Walter Travis in 1901 after winning his second U.S. Amateur Championship, with the original Havemeyer Trophy (which was destroyed by fire in 1925). He won with a Haskell rubber-cored golf ball (sitting on the table), which was a new innovation at the time that quickly replaced the older gutta-percha ball. The final round had been postponed a week because of the death of President William McKinley.

The original caption read: "From a hitherto unpublished photograph taken just after his second win of the Amateur Championship at the Country Club of Atlantic City, in 1901. The ball on the table is the first rubber-core to win a major event."
