With articles on two favorites to win, Byron Nelson and Ben Hogan. The winner of the 1941 US Open was Craig Wood. After a poor showing early on, Wood wanted to withdraw from competition, but Tommy Armour convinced him to play on. Wood was also wearing a corset, to help his ailing back from an injury two weeks prior. This was the last Open to be played before World War II disrupted play until 1946. According to an article within, Bobby Jones attended the Open, not as a competitor of course, but as a spectator. An unused copy, the original mailing carton addressed to legendary golf collector R. Otto Probst. Provenance: From the collection of Joseph P. Garrity.
