Gay Brewer's 1967 Ryder Cup at Champions Club Team USA Golf Bag

Win the Masters Tournament and be selected for the Ryder Cup? Check off the 6 plus years as a PGA Professional requirement box (turned pro in 1956) and Gay Brewer's first Team USA inclusion was never up for debate. Exhibiting the regal goldthread outlined 1967 Ryder Cup embroidered shield on the main name pocket is United States team member and Masters champion of the year Gay Brewer's navy blue personal bag for that week. 'Gay Brewer' in white script just below finishes off this gamer from the biennial international matches. How dominant was the 1967 U.S. Ryder Cup Team? All that needed to be said was uttered by American Captain Ben Hogan at a team dinner "Ladies and gentlemen, the United States Ryder Cup Team-the finest golfers in the world." The U.S. Team over the next three days proved Hogan correct posting the largest margin of victory in Ryder Cup history (23 1/2-8 1/2). Gay Brewer notched 3 points in his 3-2 record over five matches, 2-1-1 in 1973 for an efficient cumulative 5-3-1. This head turning entrant into the patriotic Ryder Cup team issued and tournament used golf bag subcategory shows some of the latter, most noticed on the white of the shield. A Letter of Provenance signed by Bob Boring will accompany this lot.
