Ken Venturi Signed 1964 US Open at Congressional CC Program

Here we have a program from the 1964 US Open at Congressional signed by the winner Ken Venturi. The program shows some foxing, otherwise good condition. 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.

James Spence Authentication (JSA) has reviewed the signature and their auction letter of authenticity will come with this lot.
