1934 US Open at Merion Contestant Badge - Olin Dutra Winner
Here we have a contestant badge from the 1934 United States Open at Merion. The badge is one of the nicest ones we have seen from this generation and retains its original pin on the back. The 1934 US Open was the first contested by the United States Golf Association at Merion and the first year that both Ben Hogan and Byron Nelson played in a US Open. The "Slammin' Spaniard" Dutra came back from eight shots back to beat Gene Sarazen and claimed the Open title. For the 33-year-old it marked his second Major championship victory after having triumphed in the 1932 PGA Championship at Keller Golf Club. Oh did we mention 1934 was the first year for both Ben Hogan and Byron Nelson to compete in a U.S. Open. 1 1/8" x 1 3/8"
