Action Photo of Vic Ghezzi - Signed on Reverse Side
Winner of the 1941 PGA Championship, defeating Byron Nelson after 38 holes in the finals. Unfortunately for Ghezzi, World War II was happening right in his prime, leaving the opportunities for more major victories to become scarce. A runner-up at the 1946 US Open was an exceptional performance for both he and Byron Nelson, as well as eventual winner Lloyd Mangrum. On Sunday there was a 18-hole playoff, which ended in a three-way tie, forcing an additional 18 hole playoff. Mangrum won that afternoon round by a single stroke over both Ghezzi and Nelson. Vic Ghezzi, selected for three Ryder Cup teams, would go on to win a total of 11 wins on tour and was inducted into the PGA of America's in 1965. Ghezzi unfortunately passed away in 1976.
3 1/4" x 4 3/4" James Spence Authentication (JSA) has reviewed the autograph of Ghezzi offered here, and their letter of authenticity will come with this lot.
