Gene Sarazen Signed 'Sarazen World' Flag - Personalized to Late Nick Price Caddy 'Squeeky'
This tournament flag is the seldom found Gene Sarazen World Open flag. Sarazen conducted this event in northern Georgia at Chateau Elan late in his life time. This flag has been personalized, 'Best Wishes to 'Squeeky' from Gene Sarazen 1996. Squeeky as he was known and loved on the PGA Tour for his high-pitched voice was Jeff Medlen who carried Nick Price's bag to victory in the British Open and two PGA Championships. He would pass away from leukemia in 1997 having last carried Price's bag at the 1996 Sarazen World Open in November of '96 where this flag from the tournament host Sarazen was signed. Flag comes protectively shrink wrapped which can easily be removed if the winning bidder so desires.
