The 22 year old famously took down Arnold Palmer in an 18-hole playoff at Oakmont Country Club. Close inspection the address on the check reveals the USGA's first location for "Golf House," located in a five story brownstone on 38th Street in the Murray Hill section of Manhattan. Strong condition and clarity. Authenticated and encapsulated by PSA as Type 1. 8" x 10".
