Mint Unused Playoff Ticket

for 1950 U. S. Open

(Hogan's Historic Win at Merion)

        For ticket collectors or Ben Hogan fans, this piece is hard to beat!

        Everyone remembers Ben Hogan's 1-iron shot on the 72nd hole at Merion in the 1950 U.S. Open. But what people often forget is that the 1-iron shot merely got Hogan into an 18 hole Monday playoff with Lloyd Mangrum and George Fazio.

        Offered here is a mint, unused ticket from the 1950 U.S. Open Playoff. This ticket is simply unimprovable; surely the finest example in existence. The reverse of the ticket contains the handwritten playoff scores of the 3 contenders.
