This Day in Ryder Cup History: September 25

It’s not the happiest of milestones on this date. The most loved golfer in history, Arnold Palmer, died at age 87 of heart failure in a Pittsburgh hospital in 2016. Arnold came into this world on Tuesday, September 10, 1929, in Latrobe, Pennsylvania, and he exited it on this date, September 25, 2016, age 87, on a Sunday evening at the University of Pittsburgh Medical Center Shadyside Hospital, passing away due to complications of heart problems. And on this date in 1987, the Ryder Cup opened at Muirfield Village in Ohio, with Europe leading 6-2 at the end of Day 1 after winning all four afternoon Four-Ball matches.
