Ben Hogan Framed 1-Iron Shot with Signed Mounted Check
Here we have the iconic photo from Hogan's win at the 1950 U.S. Open at Merion Golf Club. This one-iron shot is regarded by many as the greatest single shot in golf history. Among golf photographers it receives similar acclaim. Professionally matted and framed to 30 1/4" x 28 1/4", this item also features a signed check by Ben Hogan. This frame is in excellent condition and this piece displays extremely well. Hogan signed the check in pen, written out to Lone Star Gas Co. and dated July 14, 1992. Ben Hogan compiled nine career professional major championships tying him (with Gary Player) for fourth all-time, trailing only Jack Nicklaus (18), Tiger Woods (14) and Walter Hagen (11). He is also one of only five golfers to have won all four major championships currently open to professionals (the Masters Tournament, the British Open, the U.S. Open, and the PGA Championship.
