Just weeks after returning from a near death car accident, the incomparable Ben Hogan staggered through the U.S. Open at Merion CC, barely able to walk. In one of the greatest comebacks in history, Hogan used his now famous “1-iron” on the 18th hole to propel him to victory.

This striking sculpture, by renowned artist Ron Tunison, shows this defining moment in all dimensions and details. In his work, Mr. Tunison shows us the focus and grit of Mr. Hogan’s countenance, as well as, the esoteric detail of the extra spike on his right shoe. Each cold-cast sculpture is carefully buffed by hand with steel wool and mounted on a solid walnut base -- released in a limited edition of 750.

Ron Tunison, the New York-based sculptor, is best known for his work involving the Civil War. Three of his pieces are prominently featured at Gettysburg, including The General Samuel W. Crawford Monument, the Friend-to-Friend Masonic Memorial, Irish Brigade Monument and The Delaware State Monument. Tunison is known as a storyteller with a rare ability to capture emotion in the faces and body language of his figures. His works have been hailed for their historical authenticity and meticulous attention to detail.

The piece stands 16" tall and has a base of 8 1/2" x 7 1/2".
