This is for an original tag ticket from May 19 1950 for the 47^th Western Open held at the Brentwood Country Club in Los Angeles California. The event was regarded as one of the premier tournaments in the US along with the North and South Open, the Shawnee Open and the PGA Championship. The 1950 tournament would be won by Sam Snead with a one stroke victory over Jim Ferrier and Dutch Harrison. The victory would be Sneads second consecutive Western Open victory and one of his 11 victories in 1950. Snead considered 1950 to be his greatest year in golf with a scoring average of 69.23 which was a Vardon Trophy record which stood for 50 years. Snead would lose the 1950 Golfer of the Year to Ben Hogan, who would win only one tournament and even lose in a playoff to Snead in the Los Angeles Open. Snead is still the all time leader in PGA tour wins with 82 victories even though Tiger Woods tied Sam by winning Japan’s Zozo Open in 2020. This would be Sam’s 55^th win of his career. To put that in perspective, if that was Sneads final victory, it would still put him ahead of Byron Nelson (52) in career wins and behind only Arnold Palmer (62), Ben Hogan (64), Jack Nicklaus (73) and Tiger Woods (82). The ticket is in great shape with just minor chipping on the front and minor staining on the back, and still displays very nicely. A great souvenir from the Golden Age of Golf.
