Jack Nicklaus Signed Oakmont Country Club Embroidered Flag
The site where everything changed, Oakmont Country Club, is on display in this lot via the embroidered course flag. Signed by champion Jack Nicklaus the historical significance of the 1962 US Open is on full display. Jack defeated Palmer in an 18-hole Sunday playoff that marked the beginning of their legendary rivalry. It was Jack's first professional win en route to 18 Major titles, four of which were Us Open titles. Palmer won the 1960 contest with the the amateur Nicklaus placing second. One could make a case that there isn't a more significant moment in golf history than the 18 hole playoff victory of Nicklaus over Palmer in the 1962 US Open at Oakmont. Offered here is an Oakmont Country Club flag signed by Nicklaus in flawless black marker. James Spence Authentication (JSA) has reviewed the signature and their FULL letter of authenticity #BB15069 will come with this lot.
