2010 Spring Golf Memorabilia Auction featuring Lloyd Mangrum Estate
This lot is closed for bidding. Bidding ended on 4/8/2010
The 1960 Open was the moment when three eras and three remarkable careers collided, the end of Ben Hogan, the arrival of Jack Nicklaus and the coronation of Arnold Palmer. The Palmer "Charge" was born here as he came from seven strokes back going into the final round. The "King" birdied six of the first seven holes, shot 65, and defeated the young amateur Nicklaus by two strokes.
This badge from the Mangrum family comes in near-mint condition, and is accompanied by Lloyd's family letter.
Lots 1-225 will enter extended bidding on Thursday 4/8 at 6 PM EST, and will close that evening. Lots 225-450 will enter extended bidding at 7 PM EST on Sunday 4/11 and will close that evening. If you have any questions please call 813-340-6179
