The Ryder Cup
1962 US Open Photographer's Badge
(Nicklaus' First Major!)
Before he became one of the greatest golfers to ever live, Jack Nicklaus was
just a promising college player and amateur. That all changed when rookie won
his first ever professional golf tournament in dramatic fashion - by beating fan
favorite Arnold Palmer in a playoff at famed Oakmont. The fans might now have
been on Nicklaus' side, but the Golden Bear (a nickname that had not yet stuck)
would eventually win them over.
This is a rare opportunity to obtain a nice badge from that 1962 U.S. Open -
Jack Nicklaus' first ever professional win and first Major Championship.
