In 1898, Beatrix Hoyt won the championship for the third straight time, defeating Maude Wetmore of Newport, R.I., 5-3. Sixty-one players entered the tournament, which was played October 11-14 at the Ardsley Club at Ardsley-on-Hudson, N.Y. In the qualifying rounds, Hoyt was the only player to break 100.

There are some waves in the print, which is free of creases. The lithograph is double-matted and framed to 28 ½” x 33 ¼”. It will make a dramatic addition to a golfer’s game room or to a country club.
