When Harry Bradshaw was undone by Lady Luck and the brilliance of Bobby Locke
There was no rules official in the vicinity when Harry Bradshaw’s tee shot landed in the rough and amid the broken remains of what appeared to be a beer bottle on the fifth hole in the second round of the 1949 Open Championship at Royal St George’s.
There was, though, a photographer.
The snap taken at the time is a beauty, Bradshaw’s left hand leaning on his club for balance while he almost doubles over in an attempt to get a closer look at a ball nestled unapologetically in the most unusual of lies, like an egg in a nest.
It’s no surprise that he took up to 15 minutes to decide what to do next.
So we’re told, anyway.
Some of the details, like whether the bottle in question was of Irish origin, remain foggy but the most notable doubt was in the Wicklow man’s mind as he stood over the scene.
Should he deem the bottle a movable object under rule and take a ‘free’ drop, or should he play it as is?
