Ben Hogan famously participated in the Open Championship just once - when he won the 1953 Open at Carnoustie. It was the final major of Hogan's "Triple Crown" season where he won all three majors he played (the PGA Championship dates conflicted with the Open, making the Grand Slam impossible).  Offered here is one of only two tickets from Hogan's incredible victory at the 1953 Open Championship that have ever been authenticated by PSA. This full weekly badge and even contains a hole punch, which no doubt proves its use during that historic tournament when Ben Hogan won the Claret Jug during his first time playing links golf.
