Rare Bobby Locke Signed Book with Open Championship Notations

        Presented here is an impressive - and rare - autograph of 4-time British Open Champion Bobby Locke. Despite his relatively long career, autographs of the South African Locke can be very hard to find. This is primarily due to the fact that he rarely played in the United States. In 1949, when he was quickly becoming the best player in the world, Locke was banned from the PGA Tour. Even though this ban was eventually lifted in 1951, Locke only returned to the United States a handful of times. This book, Bobby Lock on Golf, has not only been signed by the great champion, but Locke has also added the dates of each of his Open Championship victories.
