2012 Spring Golf Memorabilia Auction with 1934 Masters Badge
This lot is closed for bidding. Bidding ended on 4/9/2012
The 1968 Masters Tournament was contested from April 11 to April 14 at Augusta National Golf Club. It was the 32nd Masters Tournament.
Bob Goalby birdied the 13th and 14th and eagled the 15th to record a final round of 66. At first it appeared that he and Roberto DeVicenzo would play in a playoff, but DeVicenzo returned an incorrect scorecard showing a 4 on the 17th instead of a birdie 3. Tommy Aaron incorrectly marked the 4 and DeVicenzo failed to catch the mistake and signed the scorecard. PGA of America rules stated that the higher written score signed by a golfer on his card must stand. As such, the error gave Goalby the championship.
The badge has some great history with a note from Bobby Jones on reverse side.
