1993 1996 Masters Tournament White Silk Souvenir Pin Flag

This is the very first souvenir Masters Tournament flag ever produced - a flag that is often talked about, but seldom found. A very small number of these elusive flags were sold at the 1993 Masters Tournament. Keep in mind, this was nearly a decade before the golf flag collecting boom. This lightweight flag was the first in the trilogy of early Masters flags - sold in limited quantities before the current thick yellow Masters flags began in 1997.

The 1993 Masters Tournament was the 57th Masters Tournament, held April 8–11 at Augusta National Golf Club. Bernhard Langer won his second Masters championship, four strokes ahead of runner-up Chip Beck.^[2][3]

Heavy rains on Friday afternoon caused a delay and the second round was not completed until Saturday morning. Jeff Maggert was the leader in the clubhouse at 137 (−7) while Langer was at six-under after sixteen holes when darkness suspended play.^[4] Langer, the 1985 champion, finished that round with pars and then forged a four-shot lead with a 69 in the third round to equal the best round of the day.^[5] Tied for second were Beck and Dan Forsman.

On Sunday, Forsman got within one shot of Langer, but found the water twice at the par-3 12th and the quadruple bogey ended his chances.^[6][7] Langer was even par for the round through twelve holes, then eagled the par-5 13th. Playing in the final pairing with Langer, Beck trailed by three shots at the par-5 15th, chose to lay up, missed the green, and scrambled for par. Langer made birdie for a comfortable lead, which extended to five strokes after Beck bogeyed 16.^[2][3][1][7]
