Captain Jim Furyk's Issued 2018 Team USA Ryder Cup Tour Bag

This professional Tour bag was crafted by the PGA of America for Jim Furyk to play in practice rounds at the 2018 Ryder Cup contested at Le Golf National, just outside Paris . The patriotic design to this bag comes with red, white and blue color scheme that is accented with USA and Ryder Cup logos, no doubt which team this bag represents. Also adorning this deluxe model golf bag is the stitched name of the Captain for the USA in these matches, Jim Furyk. The Captain was no stranger to the Ryder Cup. In fact, he's among the most experienced American golfers in the history of the biennial event. Furyk's nine Ryder Cup appearances as a player are second behind only Phil Mickelson. Furyk's most notable Ryder Cup moment came in his Sunday's singles match against Sergio Garcia in 1999 at The Country Club in Brookline, Mass. The U.S. famously entered the final day of the competition trailing 10-6. No team in the history of the matches had ever overcome a deficit that large on the final day. With a furious rally, the Americans, captained by Ben Crenshaw, did the impossible. Furyk played a key role with a dominating 4 and 3 victory over Garcia, which secured the 14th point for the U.S. that day.Shortly after Furyk closed out that match, teammate Justin Leonard would nail down the half-point needed for the stunning, come-from-behind, 14 1/2-13 1/2 victory. It is seldom that the collecting world has an opportunity to pick up a personal item of this offering. Please do not miss this opportunity to add a significant piece to your Ryder Cup collection.A signed letter of from PGA Historian Bob Denney will accompany this lot.
