Ben Hogan
1958 Canada Cup (World Cup) Bronze Medal
Belonging to Eric Brown of Scotland
Offered here is an actual Canada Cup Bronze Medal that was awarded to Eric Brown
of Scotland for the 1956 Canada Cup matches (now called the World Cup).
The 1956 Canada Cup was the most star
studded year in the tournament's history. It's rather excusable for Eric Brown
to achieve a bronze medal, as the tournament was won by the formidable U.S.
pairing of Ben Hogan and Sam Snead, with Hogan taking individual honors. And the
second place team? Hardly also-rans, as it was the South Africa team consisting
of Gary Player and Bobby Locke.
This original 1956 Canada Cup bronze
medal measures 3" in diameter.
