This Day in Golf--Oct. 15

This is an off-year for the Ryder Cup, of course, but on this date in 1983, the playing that year was on Day 2 of three with the score tied at 8 heading into the final day of singles play. The RC was being played at PGA National in Palm Beach Gardens, Fla., and the U.S. had won the eight team matches that day 4.5 to 3.5 to forge the 8-all tie. The Europeans were playing tough, headed by Seve Ballesteros, and giving the U.S. all it could handle.
