1953 US Open
Contestant's Badge
Offered
here is an actual constant's badge from the 1953 US Open, which was
famously won by Ben Hogan at Oakmont during his magical 1953 season. 157
of these contestant's badges were issued to players at the 1953 US
Open, but this wasn't just any random player's badge.
Quite impressively, this contestant's badge belonged to American
professional football player and well-regarded amateur golfer Frank
Souchak. Souchak finished tied for 9th and low amateur at the '53 Open.
