Arnold Palmer 1954 US Amateur Winner Commemorative Havemeyer Trophy
No less an authority then Jack Nicklaus calls the United States Golf Association's Amateur Championship a "Major". Whether it is or not is open to debate. What is known is that the 1954 US Amateur had a fellow who was selling paint in Cleveland (Arnold Palmer) put his golf game to test over a week of gritty match play, and crowned him champion by virtue of a 1-up win in the 36 hole finals match. That weeks event was contested at The Country Club of Detroit, and it is what Mr. Palmer considers the turning point of his career.
Here is an impressive artist rendering of the Havemeyer Trophy presented to each champion of the US Amateur. This 23" x 7" x 7" hardware carries a 'Arnold Palmer - 1954 US Amateur' nameplate with stamped lettering filling in with black paint. This is the next best thing to the Havemeyer player trophy.
