1977 British Open at Turnberry Glass Dish Signed by Tom Watson
Known as the infamous "Duel in the Sun", Tom bested Jack Nicklaus by a single stroke. Paired together the final two days at Turnberry's inaugural hosting of The Open, Jack and Tom picked up their duel that had started 3 months earlier when Tom bested the Golden Bear for the Masters Green Jacket. Watson is very tough on memorabilia. In Watson's illustrious career, his eight major championships included five Open Championships, two Masters titles, and one U.S. Open title. The only major that has eluded him is the PGA Championship, which would put him in an elite group of golfing "grand slam" winners that includes Ben Hogan, Jack Nicklaus, Gary Player, Gene Sarazen, and Tiger Woods. In all, Watson ranks 6th on the list of total major championship victories, behind only Hogan, Nicklaus, Player, Woods, and Walter Hagen. This signed dish from the 1975 Open Championship at Carnoustie measures 6 3/4" x 5"
