1957 US Amateur at The Country Club Brookline Sterling Silver Runner-Up Medal
Presented here is a splendid 1957 U.S. Amateur USGA RUNNER-UP Medal won by Dr. Frank M. “Bud” Taylor at THE COUNTRY CLUB in Brookline, Mass. This storied venue hosted the 1957 Amateur where 1,578 golfers entered the field. This second place beauty is made of Sterling Silver and comes with the proper USGA enameling and date on the front. Taylor lost in the finals 5 & 4 to Hillman Robbins in front of Francis Ouimet and the famous crowd watching at Brookline. USGA Amateur medals are in serious demand amongst collectors.
