Brad Bryant’s 1995 US Open at Shinnecock Hills Contestant Badge

Available in this lot is Brad Bryant's 1995 US Open at Shinnecock Hills Contestant Badge, the toughest of all tournament credentials. The same year as his Walt Disney World Oldsmobile Classic, Bryant used this contestant badge featuring the detailed center USGA Great Seal relief and his name below as an identifier on the course. Corey Pavin won at Shinnecock, while Tiger Woods made his US Open debut as an amateur. As the accompanying pictures depict, there are signs of wear on the reverse consistent to that of usage and aging of this metal. A signed letter of provenance from Brad Bryant will accompany this lot.

Brad Bryant Collection

All three rounds in the 60's (67-63-68), it was a dream came true for the triumphant Brad Bryant at the 54-hole 1995 Walt Disney World Oldsmobile Classic as inclement weather moved in. The resilient 40-year-young Bryant earned one of golf's finest monikers: PGA Tour Champion. University of New Mexico's Brad Bryant would take on the Champions Tour a decade later and win the 2007 Senior US Open major title, all while going back-to-back at the Regions Charity Classic in '06 and '07. His PGA Tour win would be backed up with four total Champions Tour victories. Longevity, consistency, hardwork and staying strong after seven runner-up finishes prior to a victory, the well-respected Bryant contested in over 500 PGA Tour events. His younger brother Bart won three times on tour as well. With great pride, The Golf Auction presents Brad Bryant's collection in which he has amassed during his professional golfing career that began nearly 50 years ago.
