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 programs from the 1950 US Open have you seen? Our guess would be very few, as it is exceedingly hard to find. The offered example is quite impressive, and is likely one of only a handful of original programs from the 1950 US Open that you will ever encounter.
