Tony Lema Signed Photo - 1964 British Open Champ

        Presented here is one of the most sought-after major championship winner autographs of the last half-century.  Tony Lema rose to fame as a golfer in the early 1960's and won the 1964 Open Championship at St. Andrews.  Lema's promising career came to a tragic halt in 1966 when he and his wife were killed in a plane crash on the way to a golf tournament in Chicago, Illinois.  This is a rare signed 8 x 10 photograph of the late champion.  It is without question that very few Tony Lema signed photographs exist.
