The Ryder Cup <\/a><\/div>\n
\n

Created by English seed merchant and keen amateur golfer Samuel Ryder, the first match was played in Massachussets in 1927, when America beat Great Britain &amp; Ireland 9&frac12; – 2&frac12;. They would go on to dominate the matches for over 50 years, until broader-based European teams finally began to provide strong opposition. After 41 matches, the score to date is USA 26, GB&amp;I\/Europe 13, with 2 ties.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/table>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
