Ben Hogan Signed 1951 US Open at Oakland Hills CC Program w/Pairing Sheet
Once available to attendees for a mere 50 cents at the 1951 US Open at Oakland Hills CC, this example of the official program is exquisitely scribed by the champ himself, Mr. Ben Hogan. Both signature quality and positioning are unimprovable. The cover shows some wear and dog earring, though Hogan's thick signature in blue ink shines nicely. To conquer the field of 162 golfers competing in the 1951 US Open meant that you had to be a player of supreme talent. It also required that you excel at the long, narrow and rugged Oakland Hills Country Club. Ben Hogan did, in what he claimed was his greatest round of golf, calling the course "The Monster". Hogan was one of only two players to break par on the week, shooting 67 on Sunday to claim the Open Championship. It gave "Bantam Ben" back-to back US Open victories (6th of 9 career major wins). Offered in this lot is a United States Golf Association published program from the course, Oakland Hills, which humbled so many of the top golfers in the world. Authenticated By Green Jacket Auctions. Includes Fact Sheet On Oakland Hills. James Spence Authentication (JSA) has reviewed this signature and their auction letter of authenticity comes with this lot.
