Sam Parks Signed 1942 Note - Oakmont Country Club JSA ALOA

Offered here is a small handwritten note from Parks in Atlantic City that reads as follows: "May 24, 1942 To Robert Henry: Kindest regards & best wishes from Atlantic City, Sam Parks Jr. "4" x 4".

Sam Parks, born in Bellevue, Pennsylvania, used his knowledge of the nearby Oakmont Country Club to win the 1935 United States Open at age 25. Parks was the only player to negotiate Oakmont's furrowed bunkers and shaved greens in less than 300. After winning the US Open, Parks played for the US Ryder Cup team, matched against Alf Perry (the reigning British Open champion), the first time the US Open champion would play the British Open Champion of the same year in a Ryder Cup match. During that event, at the 36th hole, Parks made a 30-foot birdie putt to win the hole and tie the match, so that both he and the British champ remained undefeated in Ryder Cup play.

James Spence Authentication (JSA) has reviewed the signature and their auction letter of authenticity will come with this lot.
