This lot is closed for bidding. Bidding ended on 2/14/2021
Steve Jones Signed 2004 Ryder Cup Commemorative Jersey
A commemorative jersey given to all members and coaches of the United States 2004 Ryder Cup team is offered and signed by Steve Jones. Jones leaves the inscription 'Asst. Captain' in black Sharpie with his autograph. Jones is best known for his 1996 U.S. Open victory, his lone major, which was played at Oakland Hills Country Club near Detroit, also the location of the 2004 Ryder Cup. Jones couldn't help the U.S. team create the same magic that he had in his U.S. Open win, as the European team handed the U.S. the loss. To say this signed jersey which is in mint/unworn condition is limited edition would be an understatement, as this jersey was given directly to Steve Jones, signed, then made available to bidders.
James Spence Authentication (JSA) has reviewed this autograph and their certification of its authenticity will come with this lot.
The winning bidder will receive the accompanying letter signed by Steve Jones
**THE STEVE JONES COLLECTION - 8x PGA Winner & 1996 U.S. Open Champion**
We at The Golf Auction appreciate the opportunity to partner with the highly respected PGA Touring Professional Steve Jones in the auctioning of items from his collection of player badges, clubs, championship medals and mementos assembled over a PGA career which began in 1982 and spanned over the next almost 40 seasons on the regular and Champions Tours. This great run of golf at its highest level saw Jones five times finish in the yearly Top 40 of PGA earnings. His long successful career was highlighted by eight PGA Tour wins claimed at some of the most esteemed of Tour events which included the AT&T Pebble Beach National Pro-Am, Bob Hope Chrysler Classic, Canadian Open and of course his Major triumph at the 1996 United States Open. This victory which came at the famed, for its difficulty of play, Oakland Hills. This triumph saw Jones post a record setting winning score of 278. This championship winning score remains to this day the the lowest total posted at any of the six U.S. Open's and two Senior U.S. Open's held at the course Ben Hogan would call "The Monster" (with members of the champions at Oakland Hills club besides Jones including Hall of Famers Ralph Guldahl, Hogan, Arnold Palmer and Jack Nicklaus). Following the 1996 golf season, Jones also had the esteemed honor of being named the recipient of the Ben Hogan Award which is given annually by the Golf Writers Association of America to an individual who has continued to be active in golf despite a physical handicap or serious illness.
