- 1947_Ryder_Cup abstract "The 7th Ryder Cup Matches were held November 1–2, 1947 at Portland Golf Club in Portland, Oregon, marking a resumption of the competition after a full decade. World War II forced cancellations from 1939 to 1945; the last competition was in 1937. The United States overwhelmed the British team, 11–1.From 1947 to 1967, it was the worst defeat a Great Britain team suffered at the hands of the U.S., and to date it remains the closest that a side has come to not winning any matches. The Britons, led by Henry Cotton, knew that they had no real chance of winning[citation needed] and proved themselves correct on the first day by losing every foursomes match. The American team took a 4–0 lead into the second day, and continued to dominate by winning all but one singles match. The only British victory in the competition came when Sam King beat Herman Keiser 4 & 3 to save them from leaving Portland without winning any points.Played in the Pacific Northwest in November in wind and rain, soft course conditions prevailed as a week-long rain preceded the event. The next several matches in the U.S. were played in more southerly venues.The course hosted the match play PGA Championship in August 1946, won by Ben Hogan, and the stroke play Portland Open on the PGA Tour in 1944 and 1945, won by Sam Snead and Hogan, respectively.This was the first of two Ryder Cups for Hogan as a competitor and the second and final appearance for Byron Nelson, later the non-playing captain in 1965. Hogan was also a non-playing captain in 1949 and 1967.The revival of the Ryder Cup in 1947 was initiated by Portland businessman Robert Hudson, who paid for the expenses of the teams and chaired the event. He even met the British team in New York, threw a lavish party at the Waldorf-Astoria, and accompanied them on the four-day rail journey across the U.S. to Portland.".
