On October 28th, 1980, Greg Norman beat Wayne Levi (well, who couldn’t?) to win the Nabisco Bonus, capping, at the time, one of the finest years in PGA Tour history. With the win, the Great White Shark ended the season as the PGA’s leading...

Stewart left a void in the PGA Tour that was larger than life. He lives on in many ways still. The general public will remember Stewart's three majors of course, not forgetting his awesome style - his "uniform", always plus fours and flat caps, usually matched...

The win was particularly historic as it marked the first time that the USA had been beaten on American soil in the Ryder Cup, a record spanning 60 years and 13 matches.

Unfortunately, on September 29 in 1991, the ‘War on the Shore’ Ryder Cup at Kiawah Island came to an agonising close for Europe and Bernhard Langer, who slid a six-foot putt past the...

Europe had been hotly tipped by all and sundry and were favourites for Ryder Cup glory with most bookies. Never ones to follow convention, Paddy Power went against the grain making USA favourites and offering a stand out 11/10 on a European victory, making themselves the one-stop-shop for backers of Faldo’s...

Ryder Cups Odds 

21/20    USA

10/1      Tie

21/20    Europe

Paddy Power can’t split the two teams for tomorrow’s Ryder Cup, going 21/20 the pair ahead of the Valhalla tee-off.

However punters are of a firm decision, with shrewdies and patriots alike overwhelmingly taking Paddy Power’s stand-out price on Europe whilst almost all other...

And with the foursomes matches revealed Paddy Power are tipping Europe to win the first session at 7/4 with the pairings of Stenson/Casey and West Wood/Garcia both favourites to win their matches all expected to win.

And with nerves jangling Paddy Power are offering 13/8 the first ball fails to find the fairway.

'Mr.Murray! Please, no! Not again...'

 

Having seemingly been on permanent display in some gigantic American trophy cabinet, Europe had the audacity to go and win the Ryder Cup for the first time in 28 years at The Belfry on September 15, 1985. It was about bloody time...

Elsewhere in the world of golf, on September 16 in 1969, a 12-year-old Nancy Lopez won the New Mexico Women's Amateur, crushing 23-year-old Mary Bryan 10 and 8 in the final match. That...
