Meanwhile, Justin Thomas shared what he told the rookie who will play with him on the fourballs, and Patrick Cantlay spoke about Medinah’s new look ahead of the Presidents Cup.

1871: George A. Crump, the creator of Pine Valley golf course, was born in Philadelphia. The course couldn't be completed due to financial setbacks and construction delays in his lifetime. A year after his death in 1918, Crump’s brother-in-law helped materialize his vision.
1894: Tommy Armour was born in Edinburgh, Scotland. Despite losing vision in one eye during World War I, Armour went on to win 27 professional tournaments, including three majors (1927 U.S. Open, 1930 PGA Championship, and 1931 Open Championship). Check out this rare footage of Armour offering a golf lesson.
2006: In the 36th playing of the Ryder Cup, Team Europe convincingly defeated Team USA by a nine-point margin (18.5-9.5). It was also the third straight victory for the European squad. Revisit the iconic chip-in from Darren Clarke in the rain to defeat Tiger Woods.
