1968 Masters Tournament Trophy Room Badge #53
If you wanted top access to the 1968 Masters won by Bob Goalby, the pass which got you into the inner sanctum of the Augusta National is offered in this lot. Far, far more difficult to obtain then a regular patrons badge. Badge is #53 without original name cut and measures 2 1/4" x 1 1/2". Bob Goalby birdied the 13th and 14th and eagled the 15th to record a final round of 66. At first it appeared that he and Roberto DeVicenzo would play in a playoff, but DeVicenzo returned an incorrect scorecard showing a 4 on the 17th instead of a birdie 3. Tommy Aaron incorrectly marked the 4 and DeVicenzo failed to catch the mistake and signed the scorecard. PGA of America rules stated that the higher written score signed by a golfer on his card must stand. As such, the error gave Goalby the championship
