1955 PGA Championship Program at Meadowbrook CC Signed by Doug Ford
Doug Ford captured the medalist honors in qualifying for the 1955 PGA, and then went on to capture the Championship for only the fourth time this was accomplished while the event was decided by match play. Ford competing in his first PGA Championship became the first player since Tom Creavy in 1931 to win on his intial attempt when he scored a 4 and 3 match play triumph over Cary Middlecoff in the final match. Ford would add another Major to his Hall of Fame credentials when he captured the 1957 Masters. This program remains in excellent condition when you discount the three hole punch marks which run from front to back cover throughout the publication. Still this program produced by the PGA of America is packed with stories and photos on the top participants in the event contested at the Meadowbrook Country Club in Northville, Michigan.
