Original caption: “You have played very well indeed,” said “Bobby” Jones, when in the sixth round in the Amateur Open Championship, he walked towards Andrew Jamieson, the 21-year-old Scot, who had defeated him on the 15th green.
In 1926 Andrew Jamieson famously beat the great Bobby Jones at Muirfield by 4&3 in the 6th Round of the Amateur Championship, being 1 under par for the holes played.
Exhausted, he was well beaten in the semi-final in the afternoon by the eventual runner-up, A.F. Simpson from Edinburgh.
