1953 Open Championship at Carnoustie Official Program - Friday - Ben Hogan Winner
In 1953, before the largest gallery in Open history, Ben Hogan's Sunday round 68 was a new single round record at Carnoustie, and his 72 hole score of 282 was also the best in a British Open Championship. Hogan had claimed his third straight Major title of the year. He returned to the States for a New York ticker tape parade which was followed by a similar parade in his hometown of Fort Worth on Monday July 27th. Offered here is the Friday program for the tournament, appearing with water stains to the covers and a previous owner's handwriting inside.
