1947 Ryder Cup at Portland Golf Club Official Program - USA 11-1 Win
With food rationing still in effect in Great Britain, the first post World War II Ryder Cup was pulled together in 1947 as an attempt to return the golfing world back to the way things had been prior to the horrors of war. Heavy rain saturated the course for both the opening day foursome matches and the 10 singles matches the second and final day. An estimated crowd of 5,000 trudged through mud throughout the matches. Despite these unfavorable conditions the condition of the listed 1947 program is in fair condition considering paper loss on the middle left front cover. All inside pages are intact featuring the victorious US team captained by Ben Hogan and led by Sam Snead, Jimmy Demaret, and Byron Nelson in a 11-1 victory by the USA over Great Britain.
