1949 Ryder Cup at Ganton GC Program
Over the history of the Ryder Cup matches (dating to 1927), no Captain other then Ben Hogan has been undefeated while serving as team Captain in three or more matches. Hogan's (3-0) victorious service to the United States squads came in the 1947,49 & 67 events. The closest of these matches came in 1949 when the U.S. squad had to rally with wins from Clayton Heafner, Chick Harbert, Jimmy Demaret and Lloyd Mangrum in the final four singles matches to secure the win for Captain Hogan at 7-5. These matches occurred at Ganton Golf Club in Scarborough, England and the official program measuring 10 1/8" x 8 1/8" is offered in this lot. Front and back covers both show tape reinforcements to worn creased areas, but this remains a difficult fully intact program which seldom surfaces in the hobbies of golf and sports publication collecting.
Please note: This auction will end at 7:00pm EST on September 27th with extended bidding to follow. All items in the auction will remain open until no items have received a bid within a 15 minute time period. All lots are free to be bid on until extended bidding has ended
