1942 Ben Hogan & Mike Turnesa Hale America at Ridgemoor CC Press Photo w/Hogan Signed 3x5 JSA ALOA
Here is an historical wire photograph depicting Ben Hogan and Mike Turnesa at the 1942 Hale America Tournament which Hogan won. Some argue that this should be considered the equivalent to a U.S. Open victory which was not played in 1942. None of the big names in golf were fighting in the war so many consider this tournament as a major. The medal Hogan received was near identical to an official U.S. Open medal but the USGA record books never officially counted this event a major. Also included in this lot is a signed 3” x 5” index card by Ben Hogan. James Spence Authenticated has reviewed this signature and a JSA ALOA will accompany this lot.
