Just 16
months after the famous car accident that nearly took his life and during which
doctors questioned whether he'd ever walk again, Hogan was back! Hogan won
9 Major Championships in his career, but none more famous than this.
Virtually every golfer alive has seen the famous photograph of Ben Hogan's
1-iron shot on the 17th hole at famed Merion, a shot that helped catapult Hogan
to the top once again.
Presented here is a very rare opportunity to obtain an actual series badge from
the 1950 U.S. Open. Very few tickets from the 1950 U.S. Open are known to
exist. This ticket belonged to a USGA Guest, and allowed its owner access
to Merion's famous clubhouse. The original owner of this ticket was
certainly very fortunate; as will the winning bidder of this very hard to find
piece.
