Ken Venturi Signed 1964 US Open Ticket and Signed Official Scorecard
Ticket is #1649
This lot comes with two Ken Venturi signatures, left on two items from his iconic 1964 U.S. Open win. He leaves his name in black Sharpie on ticket and official scorecard from his lone major championship win. Both items come in good condition, with some signs of stain from age on the scorecard. There is a crease in the center of the ticket. Venturi dominated the final round at the Blue Course of Congressional Country Club, after ignoring advice from doctors to withdraw due to dehydration from the extreme heat in the nation's capital. The treatments of tea and salt tablets seemed to work for Venturi, as he would shoot a 70 Sunday to leader Tommy Jacobs' 76 to erase a two-stroke deficit for the victory. His 206 over the final three rounds of play set a new U.S. Open record, as well as his 136 over the last 36 holes.
James Spence Authentication (JSA) has reviewed the signatures and their certification of its authenticity will come with this lot.
