This Day in Golf History: November 2

On this day in 1947 the Ryder Cup ended at Portland Golf Club in Oregon with the U.S. winning the first post World War II match, 11-1, over Great Britain in a modest two-day affair. The playing captains were Ben Hogan and Henry Cotton. On this date in 2009, 80-year-old Arnold Palmer presented Dwight Eisenhower into the World Golf Hall of Fame this night in a program called, “Arnie Honors Another Golfer Who Had Army.”
