1954 Open Championship Competitor Badge - Royal Birkdale - #55 Peter Thomson Winner
No one could foresee what the Australian Thomson had started when he won the 1954 contest at Royal Birkdale. Not only would this be the first of 3 consecutive Open Championship victories(and 4 out of next 5 years), but he would go on to win a total of 5 Claret Jugs by the 1965 season. This 2 1/8" diameter competitor badge is missing it's original string.
