1931 US Open Qualifying Rounds Contestants Badge
This emerald green badge remains in good to very good condition without even taking into account its vintage and intended functionality. Billy Burke burst into sudden fame when he came from behind to tie George Von Elm after 72 holes for the 1931 United States Open Championship. The two remained tied after the first playoff contested over 36 holes. In the second 36 hole playoff Burke was the winner by one stroke. Winning the marathon, and bringing a change to 18 holes for U.S.G.A. Open playoffs. Of note, Burke in winning was the first to triumph at the US Open with steel-shafted clubs. This contestant badge was used in hopes of making it to the main stage of Inverness in Ohio and vie for a major championship.
