The Ryder Cup
Doug Sanders' 1972 British Open
Contestant's Badge
THE DOUG SANDERS COLLECTION
Offered in this auction are some exceptional pieces of memorabilia from the
personal collection of former PGA Tour star Doug Sanders. Doug Sanders won 20
times on the PGA Tour, and finished in the top 4 in every Major Championship.
Despite his overwhelming success as a professional golfer, Mr. Sanders is
notoriously remembered for missing a 3-foot putt to win the 1970 Open
Championship at St. Andrews - a tournament that Jack Nicklaus would go on to win
by one stroke in a playoff the next day.
Presented in this lot is Doug Sanders' personal contestant's badge from the 1972
Open Championship, which was won by Lee Trevino at Muirfield. This piece comes
with a letter of authenticity from Doug Sanders himself.
