At the 2000 US Open at Pebble Beach, Jack Nicklaus famously said goodbye to the US Open and to Pebble Beach. It was a passing of the torch, as that week also saw Tiger Woods reach legendary status with his demolishing of the field to win by 15 strokes.
This 2000 US Open flag is autographed by Jack Nicklaus. This flag was previously removed from a frame, which led marks from glue on the reverse. As can be seen in the photo, the front of the flag remains unaffected.
