1949 PGA Championship at Hermitage CC Contestant Badge - Sam Snead Winner

Native Virginian Sam Snead won his second PGA Championship, defeating Johnny Palmer, 3 and 2, and delighting a partisan gallery at Hermitage Country Club in Richmond. Snead was 2-down after the front side, but he regained the two holes on the back side to finish the morning round of the Championship all square. Despite losing the 27th hole of the day with a bogey, Snead went to the final nine 2-up. Palmer's chance for comeback got slimmer when both birdied the 28th hole. Snead then proceeded to make birdie at the 31st hole. The match ended three holes later, with Snead claiming the winners' check for $3,500. This badge is in very good condition and is sure to be a prized addition to any quality contestants badge or Snead collection. A letter of from PGA Historian Emeritus Bob Denney will accompany this lot.
