This Day in Ryder Cup History: September 29

The contentious “War by the Shore” Ryder Cup ended on this date in 1991 at Kiawah Island with the U.S. edging Europe 14½-13½ after Bernhard Langer missed a 6-foot par putt that would have clinched a 14-14 tie. Europe would have kept the cup as the previous winner. On this date in 2016, a private ceremony was held for Arnold Palmer following his death on Sunday, September 25, at age 87.
