Ben Hogan 7/21/1953 Original 'Ben's Big Day' AP Wire Photo

In 1953, before the largest gallery in Open history, Ben Hogan's Sunday round 68 was a new single round course record at Carnoustie. His 72 hole score of 282 was also the lowest score in the history of the Open Championship. There was nothing stopping him, as Hogan had claimed his third straight Major title of the year. He returned to the States for a New York ticker tape parade which was followed by a similar parade in his hometown of Fort Worth on Monday July 27th. Coming from very little, Hogan had to work for everything he was ever given, and that's the way he preferred it. This photo is in very good condition. Stamped on the reverse is 'Associated Press Newsphoto.' 7 1/8" x 9."
