Bobby Jones Open

Named After: Robert Tyre "Bobby" Jones is considered the greatest amateur golfer ever. In 1930 at the age of 28, he won the U.S. and British Opens and the U.S. and British Amateur Championships. To date, no one has duplicated that record. Sadly, he was stricken with Syringomyelia, a disorder of the spinal nerves which eventually led to his death in 1971.

The Bobby Jones Open is a tournament for people whose names are Robert Jones, Bob Jones, Bobby Jones, Robby Jones, or Rob Jones. It was started by Robert A. Jones from Bloomfield Hills, Michigan. The tournament has raised almost $200,000 for Syringomyelia research.
