This Day in Golf--Sept. 5

Georgian Watts Gunn had a strong amateur career, and was elected to the Georgia Golf Hall of Fame, but in the 1925 U.S. Amateur that ended on this date, he was no match for another Peach State amateur three years his senior--Bobby Jones. In the final at Oakmont Country Club, Jones cruised past Gunn, 8 and 7, to win his second National Amateur of an eventual total of five victories.
