"58 years ago today October XX 1967 The United States Ryder Cup team led by Captain Ben Hogan delivered one of the most dominant performances in Ryder Cup history crushing Great Britain & Ireland XX to X at Champions Golf Club in Houston. Crazy fact: Despite already owning seven major championships Jack Nicklaus wasnt eligible to play for the U.S. team. At the time PGA rules required players to complete a five-year apprenticeship before earning Ryder Cup eligibility a rule that kept one of golfs greatest champions on the sidelines. @PGAChampionship @PGA @jacknicklaus"

"99 years ago today September XX 1926 Walter Hagen captured the PGA Championship at Salisbury Golf Club on Long Island. It was Hagens third consecutive PGA title cementing his dominance in match play golf. But what makes this victory legendary is the shadow that hung over him: had he lost he would have been forced to admit that he had misplaced the Wanamaker Trophy two years earlier Instead The Haig lived up to his word calling his shot and deliveringthree years in a row. @PGAChampionship @WorldGolfMuseum @PGA"

"97 years ago today October X 1928 Leo Diegel broke one of golfs greatest streaks and got stiffed on the trophy. That fall Diegel won the 1928 PGA Championship ending Walter Hagens remarkable four-year reign as the King of Match Play. But when it came time to hoist the famous Wanamaker Trophy there was one small problem no one could find it. Unbeknownst to Diegel (and the PGA of America) Hagen had lost the Wanamaker after his 1924 victory. Whether it was misplaced in a bar a train station or a haze of champagne remains part of golf lore but the result was the same: Diegels crowning moment came"

"When you see the elegance and grace of Francis Ouimets golf swing it becomes a little easier to understand how this young amateur golfer beat Harry Vardon and Ted Ray in the 1913 US Open. Francis would also win the U.S. Amateur on two occasions"

"109 years ago today October XX 1916 the inaugural PGA Championship was captured by Jim Barnes. Barnes may not be a household name today but in the early 20th century he was one of golfs quiet giants. Over his remarkable career he claimed four recognized major titles: two PGA Championships one U.S. Open and one Open Championship. If history were a bit fairer we might credit him with seven majors as Barnes also won the Western Open in 1914 1917 and 1919 back when it was widely regarded as a championship of major standing. @PGAChampionship @PGA"

"This past week I had the rare privilege of spending time with the Claret Jug. For XX quiet minutes I studied every curve every engraving every glint of light that danced across its silver surface. In my mind its the greatest trophy in the world. If not for the company around me I might have cried. It was my first time holding ittruly seeing itand feeling the weight of history in my hands. I could spend an entire day studying it. @TheOpen @RandA @WorldGolfMuseum"

"If Wyndham Clark did this I would strongly urge the @usga to suspend his exemption into the 2026 US Open at Shinnecock Hills. I think the @RandA should also look at suspending his exemption into this years @TheOpen . Finally I would also hope that the @PGATOUR suspends him for conduct unbecoming of a professional golfer & get him an anger management counselor. @usopengolf"

"I suppose I am part of the media in some small part but we are insufferable. I didnt read any articles or hear any podcasts against picking Keegan Bradley as the captain when the decision was made. NOT ONE Now I get to read all the reasons why he was the wrong guy There are a lot of talking heads chirping right now but a month ago they agreed with the decision. Backseat drivers are the worst If it were up to me- I would give @Keegan_Bradley another go in Ireland. He can learn from this- they all can do better. @RyderCupUSA @rydercup @RyderCupEurope"
