Jack Fleck's 1962 Masters Low Score Crystal Vass Trophy - April 8, 1962
8 1/2" tall with a 5" diameter, base diameter is 3".This well-kept Master's trophy has been in the possession of the Fleck family since its memorable day of presentation by the Augusta National in 1962. Though not a green jacket this award and similar one's for a hol-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 Jack Fleck this prized piece of his trophy case was earned with the low round among participants during the Sunday final round in '62 with Fleck firing a 69. For Jack, to little to late, as this excellent closing round put him at 290 for the tournament in 11th place. Fleck's round was accomplished on a challenging day for scoring as evidenced by the scores of the three players who entered a three-way playoff for the green jacket that day (Dow Finsterwald 73, Gary Player 71 and the eventual winner Arnold Palmer 75). A truly difficult trophy to obtain this piece occupies an elite stratosphere in Masters collecting hierarchy.
