Francis Ouimet - a beautiful and rare matted and framed "Red Jacket" print of Francis Ouimet honoring him for being the first non Briton to be Captain of The Royal and Ancient Golf Club of St Andrews in 1951. This is signed in the mat in green ink. I have researched this rare print as best as I can but there is not too much information available. One of the facts I could confirm was that Dwight D. Eisenhower painted the original that this print is based on. Ouimet won the U.S. Open in 1913. He was inducted into the World Golf Hall of Fame in 1974. The print is 11x14 and framed this piece measures 16x20.
