Doug Sanders' 1972 PGA Championship Pin

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.

          This is Doug Sanders' personal "players' wives" pin that was issued to him for the 1972 PGA Championship, which was won by Gary Player at Oakland Hills. This piece comes with a letter of authenticity from Doug Sanders himself.
