1950 US Open Program
- Hogan Wins at Merion!

The 1950 US Open produced what has been called the most-reproduced photograph in golf history - Ben Hogan's 1 iron shot on the 72nd hole at Merion. This was Hogan's first US Open since returning from his near fatal car crash, so the entire golf world was cheering him to victory.  For all of the times you've no doubt seen that iconic image of Hogan and his 1 iron, how many actual tournament programs from the 1950 US Open have you seen?  We have only offered one prior to this. The offered example is very nice, and is likely one of the only original programs from the 1950 US Open that you will ever encounter.
