1959 Masters Series Badge #2203 - Complimentary Stamp
Here we have a 1959 Masters Tournament Series Badge #2203 available to bidders. 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 Cary Middlecoff, who finished one stroke behind the winner, and two strokes ahead of Arnold Palmer, who was a co-leader entering Sunday's final round. This badge is stamped complimentary on the front and back and the original string is intact. There are what seems to be two adhesive marks on the front and one on the back.
