Lot 468.  1941 U.S.Open ticket at the Opening round at Colonial, Friday June 6th 1931. The Open, the last until 1946, was won by Craig Wood. The ticket has its original string but has multiple creases but no damage. It is interesting to note that the ticket is No. 1, and it’s interesting to think about who might have owned it.
Winning Bid $446.


Lot 469.  Very rare 1951 Masters Trophy Room Badge. Prestigious Trophy Room Badges allowed the Holder not only access to the Golf Course for all rounds, but the Trophy Room at Augusta National during the tournament. Their rarity can be seen by the price on the badge, which at $20 were double the price for a highly desired Series Ticket. The 1951 Masters noted the breakthrough of Ben Hogan who had finished in the top ten in 8 of the 9 previous Masters but had never won. Tickets and Badges from either of the two Hogan wins (1953 was the other) add considerably to the value of a Badge. In excellent to mint condition.
Winning Bid $1,000.
