This lot is closed for bidding. Bidding ended on 4/9/2023
1965 PGA Championship at Laurel Valley CC Committee Money Clip/Badge
Ten years prior to holding the Ryder cup events of 1975, the well-known club of Laurel Valley hosted the PGA Championship. Dave Marr was able to get his named engraved on the famed Wanamaker Trophy, marking his only major victory. Two strokes ahead of Billy Casper and Jack Nicklaus was all he needed. Presented in this lot is the program from Marr's victory, in addition to a signed cut by the champion. This was also the final PGA Championship appearance for two-time champion Ben Hogan at age 53. After his near-fatal auto accident in early 1949, Hogan's legs could not withstand the grueling match play schedule, therefore he did not play in the championship until it became a stroke play event. This badge comes in gold, yellow and white and in very good to excellent condition. This piece will come with a signed letter from Historian Bob Denney of the PGA, proclaiming that this item comes from their collection.
