Jack & Gary Nicklaus Signed 1997 US Open at Congressional Screen Flag
Presented in this lot is a 19997 US Open flag signed by both Jack Nicklaus and his son Gary Nicklaus, each in black sharpie. Prior to the 1997 US Open only two father-son combinations would make the field. The first in 1903 champion Willie Anderson and father Tom Sr - predating Father's day altogether. When Gary Nicklaus qualified for the US Open in 1997 perhaps the only one more excited about it was his father Jack. Jack's 41st time and Gary's 1st. They would enjoy a practice round together the Friday preceding the tournament. This flag was signed for our consignor that also received a ball from that memorable day. James Spence Authentication (JSA) has reviewed this signature and their auction letter of authenticity comes with this lot.
