Oak Hill 1989 U.S. Open Collection

Large framed memorabilia collage commemorating the 89th U.S. Open Championship, held June 15-18, 1989 at Oak Hill Country Club in Rochester, New York. The centrepiece is an artist-signed Hill of Fame commemorative print, showing a golfer in a red sweater walking a tree-lined fairway with ghostly legends among the oaks, bordered by the names of Oak Hill honourees including Ben Hogan, Arnold Palmer, Jack Nicklaus, Gary Player, Lee Trevino, Walter Hagen, Gene Sarazen, Bob Hope and Dwight D. Eisenhower. The accompanying pieces include the official Pairings and Starting Times sheet for the final round on Sunday, June 18, listing a field that includes Curtis Strange, Nick Faldo, Greg Norman, Payne Stewart, Fred Couples, Seve Ballesteros and Tom Kite. There is also a U.S. Open daily pairing sheet with an Oak Hill cover, 3 colour-coded Clubhouse and Grounds tickets for the 2nd, 3rd and 4th tournament days (the 4th numbered 03175), and a Clubhouse and Grounds exchange coupon. Everything is mounted on a tan mat under glass in a gold-tone frame, and the frame measures 39.5 x 32 inches. Condition presents clean, with no visible damage to the pieces, mat or glass. | | *The 1989 U.S. Open at Oak Hill was won by Curtis Strange, who became the first player since Ben Hogan in 1950 and 1951 to win back-to-back U.S. Open titles. The collage also captures a final-round field packed with major champions, and actual used tournament tickets and pairing sheets from championship weekend add to its appeal for golf collectors.
