This Day in Ryder Cup History: October 1

On this date in 2010, at Celtic Manor in Newport, Wales, the Ryder Cup was played with just one session due to rain. Only the Four-Ball session was played, with the U.S. leading 2.5 to 1.5 after play concluded. Also on this date, in 1921, the 4th PGA Championship was completed at Inwood CC with Walter Hagen defeating two-time champion Jim Barnes, 3 & 2, in the final. It was the first of Hagen’s legendary five PGA titles.
