Jack Nicklaus Signed Official Used 1971 PGA Championship Saturday Scorecard - 9th of 18 Majors

Few pieces give a visual and contextual nod to golf history as much as this prized possession, the 18-time major Jack Nicklaus' signed and used official scorecard amidst clinching a major victory. The 1971 PGA Championship saw the 31 year old Nicklaus lead wire-to-wire to claim the Major title, and with this win became the first player in history to complete the modern career Grand Slam for a second time. It records a two-under par score of 70 for Jack after two straight days of 69, good for an impressive four stroke lead in the Championship after three rounds over South African Gary Player. Of note is two straight Par-4 birdies marked on the back nine for holes 13 and 14, those of which widened his lead from two to four. This card as issued by the PGA, carried and filled out that day by tour veteran Gibby Gilbert and duly signed in 10/10 pencil by Scorer Gibby Gilbert and Contestant Jack Nicklaus. The tee time, as well as his total score of 208 is calculated in the upper right-hand corner. The official scorecard bears consistent use from traveling 18 holes around the course with Gilbert. This includes some rounding at corners, and a vertical crease on the back nines scoring area. Neither of these would hinder display value of this treasured item. Letter of Provenance from PGA of America Historian comes with this lot. Jack Nicklaus match used memorabilia represents a market on the rise as the Golden Bear marked his 80th birthday earlier this year. This scorecard from his record setting 18 Majors adds an exclamation point to that statement, and is a must have museum quality addition to any collection. A letter of from PGA Historian Bob Denney will accompany this lot.
