Bobby Jones' win at St. Andrews in 1927

After an initial rough experience for Bobby Jones at St. Andrews (Jones didn't finish his 1921 British Amateur, walking off the course halfway through his third round), Jones grew very fond of the course. In 1927, he cruised to a six-shot victory ahead of Aubrey Boomer and Fred Robson. This was his second straight British Open win and his fourth professional major title.
