Lee Trevino 1978 Greater Milwaukee Open Pro-Am Runner Up Salver
Runner-Up for the actual tournament as well (Playoff with Lee Elder), here is the silver plated runner-up salver awarded to professional Lee Trevino and his four amateur teammates at the 1987 Greater Milwaukee Open. Gold-tone paintfill was added to the careful engravings that include the vintage tournament logo two decades before Tiger Woods' major debut. When the Greater Milwaukee Open (GMO) debuted 10 years prior to this award's presentation, Lee Trevino chose to play in it instead of the schedule conflicting Open Championship as it was for a lucrative $40,000 prize which was second on tour and more than the Open at the time. The following year 1979, Lee Trevino would finish second again - always the bridesmaid, never the bride. Trevino won six major championships, 29 PGA Tour total victories en route to a World Golf Hall of Fame career. This stunning silver plated salver with scalloped edging and in excellent condition measures 13 1/2."
