SEE PHOTO-----Lot of four (4) COMPLETE, ORIGINALNEWSPAPERs,theMobile Register (AL) dated March 28, 29, 30, and 31, 1953.These 4 newspaperscontain coverage of the 1953 Greater Greensboro Open Golf Championship Tournament (now known as the Wyndham Championship Golf Tournament). This 1953 tournament ended in a 4-way tie and was won by EARL STEWART over 3 others (including Sammy Snead) in a playoff.

The Wyndham Championship is a professional golf tournament in North Carolina on the PGA Tour. It is played annually in Greensboro, and was originally the \"Greater Greensboro Open.\"

Founded 81 years ago in 1938 as the Greater Greensboro Open, it was usually played in April or May, until a schedule change in 2003 moved it toward the end of the season. Less than two months shy of age 53, Sam Snead set PGA Tour records in 1965 for his eighth win at an event and as the oldest winner of a tournament; both records still stand. Davis Love III, the 2015 champion at age 51, is the oldest to win in the senior tour era, which began in 1980.

Earl Richard Stewart Jr. (October 15, 1921 – July 11, 1990) was an American professional golfer who played on the PGA Tour in the 1950s and 1960s; and was a college head golf coach in the 1970s and 1980s.

Stewart was born in Dallas, Texas. He graduated from Dallas\' Sunset High School in 1938. He attended Louisiana State University and was a member of the golf team. In 1941, he won the NCAA Championship, and led the Bayou Bengals to a share of the NCAA team title in 1942.

Stewart had three wins in PGA Tour events during his career. His first win came in 1953 at the Greater Greensboro Open.
