American amateur Bobby Jones caused a sensation in 1930 when he won both the British Open and British Amateur golfing championships. On July 2, the city threw him a ticker tape parade. Here he is riding in the traditional open car with his wife, Mary, on the way to City Hall, where they were welcomed by Mayor Walker.
