This Day in Golf--Oct. 22

The 1967 Ryder Cup ended on this date with the usual final-day, Sunday Singles. But 50 years ago, there were eight morning matches and eight afternoon matchups as opposed to 12 singles matches total nowadays. The 1967 event was held at Champions Golf Club in Houston. The Americans had a 10-point lead heading into Singles, and won that session 10.5 to 5.5. Both Arnold Palmer and Al Geiberger won two matches each on the final day for the U.S., and Neil Coles was a two-time singles winner for Great Britain.
