Jones won the 65th Open Championship which was held from the 18th - 20th June 1930 at Royal Liverpool Golf Club. It was his third Open Championship title and the present signature is dated just one day after his famous victory which took him on his way to the single-season Grand Slam, before retiring at the age of 28 and never competing in the Open Championship again. To date he remains the last amateur to have won the Open.
