1969 Ryder Cup Bullion Blazer Jacket Commemorative Patch
With intricate detail, this piece uses gold stitching to encompass the famed crossing flags above the Ryder Cup trophy and year of matches. The United States flag crosses the Great Britain flag, the match-up that lasted from 1927 until 1977. These bullion badges are very sought after due to their presentation qualities. The 1969 Ryder Cup matches were held at Royal Birkdale Golf Club in Southport, England. The competition ended in a draw at 16 points each, when America's Jack Nicklaus conceded a missable putt to Britain's Tony Jacklin at the 18th hole. It was one of the most famous gestures of sportsmanship in all of sport. It was the first draw in Ryder Cup history, and the United States team retained the Cup. During one of the fourballs on the second day, amid bad sportsmanlike behavior from both teams, both captains had to come out and calm down the players. This led to Nicklaus conceding Jacklin's final putt with the knowledge that the tournament would end in a draw. Nicklaus' gesture became known as "the concession".
