Tom Watson Signed Carnoustie Golf Links Course Flag w/'Open Champion 1975'
Tom Watson's very first major victory was the 18 hole playoff to claim the 1975 Open Championship at the historic Carnoustie Golf Links. Not only did this flag fly on the Carnoustie links, but it also bears Watson's signature and significant 'Open Champion 1975' inscription. In Watson's illustrious career, his eight major championships included five Open Championships, two Masters titles, and one US Open title. In all, Watson ranks 6th on the list of total major championship victories, behind only Hogan, Nicklaus, Player, Woods, and Walter Hagen. A review of the photos in this lot garners numerous welcomed signs of usage throughout this light colored flag - heavier on the end of the plastic pole insert as expected. James Spence Authentication (JSA) has reviewed the signature and their auction letter of authenticity will come with this lot.
