1949 Ryder Cup Team USA Being Interviewed by BBC at Reception at Savoy Press Photo - September 9th
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, 1949, & 1967 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 here is a Savoy press photo featuring the victors being interviewed by the local BBC media.
