Billy Casper Signed 1979 Ryder Cup at The Greenbrier Program with 'Captain' Inscription
A new era for the Ryder Cup had begun with the contest at Greenbrier in 1979. Players from continental Europe participated in the Ryder Cup in hopes of changing the extensive US dominance. With Seve on hand, the new Team Europe replaced Great Britain and Ireland as the official opposition to the United States. When all was said and done though, the United States dominated the competition by a score of 17 to 11 points. An impressive victory for the Americans, even with Nicklaus failing to make the team for the first time since becoming eligible in 1969. Offered here is a program from that tournament in good condition, the signature of the non-playing captain Billy Casper further adding to the presentation of the program.
James Spence Authentication (JSA) has reviewed the signature and their auction letter of authenticity will come with this lot.
