1965 United States Ryder Cup Team w/ Photo - Palmer, Nelson, & others - Framed
The first two days of foursomes and four-balls proved exciting for spectators in Southport, England at Royal Birkdale Golf Club for the 1965 Ryder Cup matches. The Americans held a slim 9-7 advantage. They however dominated in final days singles matches, winning 10 of the final 16 points. The difference was the U.S. Team's ability to convert necessary points through deft short games and handling Royal Birkdale's difficult final six holes. The Americans mastered the "punch" shot low into the ever-present wind, while the British team preferred to lob short approaches into the air. Here is a posed Team USA photo next to their club bags with captain Byron Nelson in the center. 17" x 14"
