	Athletes - Jerome Travers

Jerome D. Travers (1887-1951) was one of the leading amateur golfers of the early 20th century. He won the U.S. Amateur Championship in 1907, 1908, 1912 and 1913, the New Jersey Amateur three times, and the Metropolitan Amateur (New York) five times. He was regarded as one of the finest matchplay golfers of his time and had a famous rivalry with Walter Travis.

In 1915 Travers won the U.S. Open at Baltusrol Golf Club, making him the second of the five amateurs to win the event. It was his only top ten finish in four appearances at the U.S. Open - he never entered the tournament again once he had won it.

Although all of Travers' notable victories came as an amateur, he later became a teaching professional and gave exhibitions. He was inducted into the World Golf Hall of Fame in 1976.
