Horton Smith's 1950 US Open Championship Sectional Qualifying Rounds Detroit Low Scorer Medal
Up for auction here is the inaugural Masters Tournament Champion and first two-time winner (1934 and 1936) Horton Smith's 1950 US Open Championship Sectional Qualifying Rounds Detroit Low Scorer Medal. The reverse of this classic USGA medal is inscribed "1950 Open Championship Sectional Qualifying Rounds Detroit Low Scorer Horton Smith." The World War II veteran was long-time head golf professional at the Detroit Golf Club in Michigan, as well as Oak Park in Illinois. Horton Smith was also a popular choice for the American Ryder Cup team, representing his country in five straight tournaments starting in 1929. As seen in the photographs, Smith's medal presents extremely well and the Great Seal of the United States comes with the appropriate accent colors of red, white and blue.
