Hal Sutton's 1995 Masters Tournament Par-3 Contest Winner Glass Trophy Bowl

Though not a green jacket this award and similar one's for a hole-in-one, eagle or double eagle are presented for outstanding feats yearly during the Masters. They are highly prized by player's and known in short on the Tour as "Master's Crystal." For Hal Sutton this prized piece of his trophy case was earned with his 1995 Masters Par-3 Contest win scoring a 4-under 23 over the nine holes at Augusta National on Wednesday, April 5. It would take a playoff with tour veteran David Edwards to capture the trophy and title. "Presented to Hal Sutton - Par-3 Contest Winner - 1995" is written on the bowl front and center, just below the detailed Augusta National Golf Club logo, parting the ornate cut glass crosshatching from the bottom. The Eve of Masters competition signified two other significant events around the world of golf that day, as it would be the final one before Tiger Woods teed off for his first round of Masters Tournament competition and legendary teacher Harvey Penick's funeral in which eventual champion Ben Crenshaw would be a pall bearer along with Tom Kite would take place in Texas. Glassmaker Royal Brierley is stamped on the bottom of the bowl. A truly difficult trophy to obtain this piece occupies an elite stratosphere in Masters collecting hierarchy, also representing the first example we have offered. A signed letter from Hal Sutton will accompany this lot. 11" x 9".
