Although, not as significant of an artifact as the previous lot, this Titleist 2 golf ball was used at the 1996 PGA championship at Valhalla. This ball was used on the 6 iron with an Eagle 2 on the #15 in the 3rd round of the tournament.
A summary of the 3rd round played on August 10, 1996 according to Wikipedia, “Kentucky native Russ Cochran shot a course record 65 (−7) to take the 54-hole lead, two strokes ahead of Mark Brooks and Vijay Singh. Brooks eagled the par-4 15th, holing out from the fairway. Seeking his first major title, Mickelson fell three strokes back after a 74 (+2).”
Mark has signed this ball, “Mark Brooks 2 on #15 PGA”
