Description

Byron Nelson, winner of the Fort Worth, Texas, $10,000 Open Golf Tournament at Glen Garden Country Club, is making one of his long putts that kept him in the van all day. A large portion of the 5,000 fans followed the leader during the final rounds, and are watching the champion on No. 11 green. E. J. "Dutch" Harrison, of Little Rock, Arkansas, played both rounds with the winner. The golfers are encircled by the spectators out on the green. Nelson can be seen at the far left, facing the camera. Harrison is near the center of the field, with his back facing the camera.
