Champion Jon Rahm Signed 2021 US Open at Torrey Pines Sunday Gallery Ticket
Tickets and programs have long been the ephemera in which collectors seek out as a time capsule from a specific sporting event. Paper, or plastic, tickets remain the ideal display item for many collections, leaving many in the industry disappointed with the decision to go digital for some of the present day tournament hosts. While Torrey Pines and the USGA offered a scant amount of tickets, this is the only one we have seen. The final day, Sunday, ticket is signed by newly crowned champion Jon Rahm in the center of the ticket in black sharpie! The recent father finished Father's Day weekend as he had hoped for, with good karma presenting him with the chance for victory after leading the Memorial Tournament only two weeks prior by five strokes after three rounds. Quite possibly the most difficult modern day US Open ticket to obtain's scarcity is heightened by the champion's signature center cut across the ticket with PGA Tour players still no longer allowed to sign at events due to the pandemic. This example comes in the original tournament lanyard and in very good condition. James Spence Authentication (JSA) has reviewed this signature and their full letter of authentication comes with this lot.
