Description
1941 North and South Open Championship Gold Medal Won by Sam Snead. The tournament at Pinehurst had been one of the most prestigious in the country during the first half of the twentieth century, but course patriarch Richard Tufts, a great advocate of amateurism, refused to increase prize money in line with the PGA Tour, a decision that led to the demise of the tournament after 1951. The twenty-nine year old Snead bested his rival Ben Hogan this year, breaking what would have otherwise been a three-year streak as Hogan claimed victory in both 1940 and 1942. It would prove to be the twenty-third of Snead's eighty-two PGA Tour career wins.The raised crest of the Pinehurst Golf Club commands the obverse of the victor's medal, with simply "Winner, 39th Annual North and South Open Golf Championship, Pinehurst, N.C., March 20, 1941, Won by Sam Snead" engraved upon verso. Stamping at bottom edge reads, "10K Balfour." Diameter 1.5". Fine condition. Letter of provenance from Jack Snead.
