Ken Venturi Signed June 15, 1964 Sports Illustrated Cover Only
Venturi dominated the final round at the Blue Course of Congressional Country Club in 1964, after ignoring advice from doctors to withdraw due to dehydration from the extreme heat in the nation's capital. The treatments of tea and salt tablets seemed to work for Venturi, as he would shoot a 70 Sunday to leader Tommy Jacobs' 76 to erase a two-stroke deficit for the victory. Offered here is Venturi's silver sharpie autograph on the front of a June 15, 1964 Sports Illustrated magazine cover. James Spence Authentication (JSA) has reviewed the signature and their auction letter of authenticity will come with this lot.
