1934 US Open Qualifying Contestant Badge - Merion Golf Club
Here we have a contestant badge from the 1934 United States Open at Merion qualifying rounds. Vibrant red coloring brings out the text and provides the tripping on this white pin. The 1934 US Open was the first contested by the United States Golf Association at Merion and the first year that both Ben Hogan and Byron Nelson played in a US Open. The "Slammin' Spaniard" Dutra came back from eight shots back to beat Gene Sarazen and claimed the Open title. For the 33-year-old it marked his second Major championship victory after having triumphed in the 1932 PGA Championship at Keller Golf Club. Oh did we mention 1934 was the first year for both Ben Hogan and Byron Nelson to compete in a U.S. Open. It is in good condition, with only aging found on reverse. 1 1/8" x 1 3/8"
