Jack Nicklaus Scorer's Signed Official Used 1973 PGA Championship Sunday Scorecard - Record Setting 12th of 18 Majors
A museum worthy golf treasure of desirable proportion. This final round scorecard marked by Jack Nicklaus for his final round competitor Bruce Crampton which traveled in Jack's back pocket throughout the round at Canterbury Golf Club on August 12, 1973 when Jack captured his 12th professional Major(14th counting his two U.S. Amateur titles). This win saw Nicklaus' set the record with his 12th professional Major surpassing Walter Hagen's previous record of 11. Of more importance to Jack that day, were the 14 Majors (counting U.S. Amateur wins) which enabled him to surpass his boyhood hero Bobby Jones for the record under that measuring stick of career success. This was the third straight Major Championship that Crampton finished runner-up to Jack.This card as issued by the PGA for the final round of the third Major ever contested at Canterbury (1940 and 46 U.S. Opens) bears consistent use from traveling 18 holes around the course with Nicklaus. This includes some rounding at corners, and the residue from a paperclip which was attached to the front of the card thankfully not impacting the scoring side of card. Neither of these would hinder display value of this treasured item.Duly signed in 10/10 pencil by Scorer Jack Nicklaus and Contestant Bruce Crampton. Letter of Provenance from PGA of America Historian comes with this lot. Not to be missed this original personal match used Nicklaus item from a significant Major win represents the gold standard of golf collecting.
