The Philadelphia Museum of Art's 'The Art of Golf' includes the famous Charles Lees 1847 painting 'The Golfers,' which captures a decisive match on the Old Course at the prestigious Royal and Ancient Golf Club of St. Andrews in Scotland.
Next week, the U.S. Open returns to Merion Golf Club outside Philadelphia for the fifth time since the club was established 100 years ago. It has played host to some of professional golf's most memorable moments, including Bobby Jones' completion of the Grand Slam by winning the U.S. Amateur in 1930 and Ben Hogan capturing his second of four U.S. Opens in 1950, months after a near-fatal car accident.
