1953 U.S. Open Contestant Badge

(Ben Hogan)

          Presented here is one of the most sought-after contestant's badges in existence - an actual player's badge from the 1953 U.S. Open. The 1953 U.S. Open, of course, was won by Ben Hogan at Oakmont during Hogan's magical 1953 season.

        One badge is made for every contestant at each year's U.S. Open. This badge is one of the 100 or so contestant's badges that were produced for the competitors in the 1953 U.S. Open. A true museum quality piece in exceptional condition.
