Jack Nicklaus Signed 1970 British Open Program with Eric Brown (D-1986) Davis Love Jr. (D-1988)
At first glance you have an Ex-NrMt 1970 British Open program (all pages intact with strong spine) from the old course at St. Andrews which has been signed in pen on the cover by that years champion golfer Jack Nicklaus. In this event Jack claimed his second British Open victory and 8th overall Major. A closer look at the cover, however, yields two more signatures which are far more difficult then Nicklaus'. They are Davis Love Jr. (D-1988) who finished 55th in the '70 Open. A legendary teaching pro, and father of Davis Love III. The real gem of this cover lies in the autograph of Scotland's Eric Brown (T-32 in 1970 Open) who passed away in 1986 at 61. Brown was a British Ryder Cup star going undefeated in his four career Cup singles matches over the years 1953,55,57,59. The highly respected player would serve as Great Britain's Ryder Cup captain in both the 1969 and 1971 matches. James Spence Authentication (JSA) has reviewed these signatures, and their paperwork of authenticity comes with this item.
