EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph depicts American golfing legend, Walter Hagen, in a moment of determination and innovation during the final round of The Open Championship at Muirfield, Scotland, in 1929. With his ball resting precariously close to a stone wall, Hagen, a right-handed golfer, is seen adopting a left-handed stance to execute a shot that would have been impossible using his dominant hand. Hagen's fourth and last Open victory was a historic achievement, as he became the first American to win the prestigious tournament multiple times. The Open Championship, also known as The British Open, is the oldest of golf's major championships, and Hagen's success on its hallowed grounds further solidified his place in golfing history. The challenging ninth hole at Muirfield, with its stone walls and narrow fairways, presented a formidable obstacle for even the most skilled golfers. In this image, Hagen's focus and agility are evident as he carefully assesses the situation and prepares to take a swing with his left hand. The photograph is a testament to his remarkable adaptability and the unwavering spirit that propelled him to golfing greatness. This evocative image, captured by the Illustrated London News, offers a glimpse into the rich history of golf and the indomitable nature of its champions. The photograph is a reminder that even in the face of adversity, the human spirit and the love for the game can inspire us to overcome obstacles and achieve the extraordinary.
