1949 "Open" Reflections Book by George F. MacGregor - Bradshaw Bottle Shot Playoff
Here we have a 5 1/2" x 8 1/2" copy of the 1949 "'Open' Reflections" by George F. MacGregor. The 1949 Open Championship was played at Royal St George's in England. Bobby Locke won the first of his four Open titles in a playoff over Harry Bradshaw. On the third day, Harry Bradshaw's ball landed on a broken beer bottle on the 5th hole. He decided to play it where it lied, clearing the ball but losing a stroke on the hole. This book served as a recap of the tournament and would add nicely to any Open collection. This lot presents in excellent condition with only slight stains in the center of the book to note. Please see photographs.
Please note: This auction will end at 7:00pm EST on Sunday, June 18th, with EXTENDED BIDDING to follow. All items in the auction will remain open until no items have received a bid within a 15 minute time period. All lots are free to be bid on until extended bidding has ended
