1972 PGA Championship at Oakland Hills Program Signed by Gary Player
For Gary Player it was a "miracle" 9-iron shot from an almost impossible position at Oakland Hills that brought him his second PGA Championship and sixth overall Major win. Player had bogeyed the 14th and 15th holes in the final round and seemingly ended his chances when he pushed his tee shot far to the right on the 16th hole. Unable to see the flag, that is where the miraculous shot occurred lofting the ball over a menacing willow tree and pond to within four feet of the hole. Player birdied the hole, and went on to score a two-stroke victory. The program from the '72 PGA in excellent condition is offered here, and has been front cover signed by its champion Player. Using a black sharpie, could there be a better writing implement for Gary who is known as "the Black Knight", Player has positioned a big, bold "10" signature on the program which depicts one of his finest career achievements. James Spence Authentication (JSA) has reviewed this autograph from Player, and their letter of authenticity will come with this lot.
