Hale Irwin's OdysseyGold Plated DualForce 660 Putter for 1998 US Senior Open Championship Win
From the Hale Irwin Collection comes his gold plated 1998 US Senior Open Odyssey DualForce 660 putter with both 'Hale Irwin Champion' and '1998 US Senior Open' carefully engraved on opposite ends of the sole. Irwin defended his Champions Tour national title by the slimmest of margins over Argentinian Vicente Fernandez - carding a 9 below par winning score. This Odyssey blade putter has a black rubber face insert, emulating the putter in which Hale employed that memorable USGA victory week.34"
Karsten Solheim started giving out gold-plated putters in the 1970's that were built to the exact specs of the winner's model, with Scotty Cameron, Bobby Grace, and Odyssey following suit as a passing of the torch of sorts. This represents Irwin's fourth PGA Champions Tour major championship and first US Senior Open. A signed letter of provenance from Hale Irwin will come with this lot.
