The 1962 US Open at Oakmont was when the world was officially put on notice about the young Jack Nicklaus. Nicklaus had yet to win a PGA Tournament when he arrived at the '62 US Open at famed Oakmont Country Club. At the conclusion of 72 holes, Nicklaus was tied with Arnold Palmer - forcing an 18 hole playoff. Despite a crowd that heavily favored Arnold Palmer, Jack Nicklaus defeated Palmer to capture his first PGA Tour victory and first Major Championship. And the rest, as they say, is history...

Offered here is an original Program, Saturday ticket, and patch (7" x 3") from the 1962 US Open at Oakmont.
