1951 US Open Championship at Oakland Hills Ticket in Excellent Condition - Ben Hogan Winner
Offered in this lot is a United States Golf Association first round ticket in excellent condition from the course, Oakland Hills, which humbled so many of the top golfers in the world. It is in excellent condition, with a small chip in the upper left and very slight overall wear.To conquer the field of 162 golfers competing in the 1951 US Open meant that you had to be a player of supreme talent. It also required that you excel at the long, narrow and rugged Oakland Hills Country Club. Ben Hogan did, in what he claimed was his greatest round of golf, calling the course "The Monster". Hogan was one of only two players to break par on the week, shooting 67 on Sunday to claim the Open Championship. It gave "Bantam Ben" back-to back US Open victories (6th of 9 career major wins). The ticket measures 2 3/4" by 3 1/4" and has its original string.
