| Great Britain wins the Ryder Cup | |||||
The 2nd Ryder Cup Matches were held at the Moortown Golf Club in Leeds, England. It was very cold, with hail and at one point heavy snow on the greens.[1] About two thousand spectators saw America gain a narrow lead[2] after the foursome matches before the Great Britain team won singles on the final day and thus the competition by a score of 7–5 points.[3] George Duncan of Scotland became the first of only three British captains to lift the Ryder Cup which was given to him by Samuel Ryder who was in attendance after missing the 1927 matches.
