Wire Photo (1st Ryder Cup!)
In 1927, the first official Ryder Cup Matches were held at Worcester Country
Club in Massachusetts. Playing Captain Walter Hagen led the American squad to a
resounding 9 1/2 to 2 1/2 victory.
This is a rare original photograph
from the trophy ceremony after the 1927 Ryder Cup. This original 6 1/2" x 8 1/2"
photograph depicts Walter Hagen holding the Ryder Cup and being flanked by his
American Team, which included Horton Smith, Johnny Farrell, Gene Sarazen, Leo
Diegel, Joe Turnesa, Al Espinosa and others.
This original 1927 photograph is in
excellent condition except for a missing section in the upper right corner.
