COUNTRYWIDE TRADITION CHAMPIONSHIP
A white flag from a Countrywide Tradition tournament held in Arizona
bearing 29 signatures, including golfers Bob Murphy, Frank Conner, Walter Hall,
Terry Dill, and Jim Ahern. Extremely rare!
Flag signed: "Jim Ahern", "Bob Murphy", "Walter/Hall", "Terry
Dill", "Bob Gilder", "Mark Hayes", "Frank Conner", "Tom Shaw", "Mike Smith",
in felt tip, 19½x13½. Signer "Bill Brusk" merits more research, with 19
unidentified. 29 total. The Tradition is one of five major championships
of the Champions Tour, with it's inaugural event being held in 1989. It is one
of the few U.S. based majors that is not recognized by the European Seniors
Tour. BOB MURPHY (b. 1943), who turned pro in 1967, had five PGA Tour
victories and racked up 11 Champions Tour wins as well as two
international victories and five additional wins, including the
1965 U.S. Amateur Championship. Also a member of the 1975 Ryder Cup
team, Murphy has also served as a sports analyst for both NBC and
ESPN. FRANK
CONNER (b. 1946) is one of only two men to have played in the U.S. Open
in both tennis and golf (Ellsworth Vines is the other). Conner, who had a
tennis singles record of 55-17, began playing golf at the age of 24. He
turned pro in 1972 and joined the PGA tour in 1975. He won two
tournaments, the 1982 King Hassan Open in Morocco and the 1988 Deposit
Guaranty Golf Classic, and finished second four times before joining the
Senior PGA Tour (1995), on which he has also finished second four times.
Slightly toned. Some signatures bled into fabric, but legible. Threads fraying
on left edge. Otherwise, fine condition.
