Art Wall Jr. Signed 1963 Masters Tournament Official Scorecard W/His Scoring Final Round 1959 Win
With a full signature "Art Wall Jr." on the contestant line of this 1963 Official Masters Scorecard, the 1959 Champion's scores are filled out from his victorious final round 66 to win the '59 Masters. There is also notation of Julius Boros being his scorekeeper. The 1959 Masters marked the debut of Jack Nicklaus at age 19. The real story of the 1959 Masters Tournament, however, was the dramatic rise of Art Wall, Jr., who carded a final round of 66 while overtaking 12 golfers to win his only major championship. Wall, Jr. would connect on birdies on five of the final six holes at Augusta National, pulling away from 1955 champion Cary Middlecoff, who finished one stroke behind the winner, and two strokes ahead of the previous and following year winner Arnold Palmer, who was a co-leader entering Sunday's final round. It should be noted that of equal importance Jack Nicklaus won his first Masters Tournament in 1963, the year of this official scorecard. James Spence Authentication (JSA) has reviewed this signature and their auction letter of authentication comes with this lot.
