Dudley Hopes Ryder Cup Matches May Be Played
PGA President Ed Dudley said the United States and Britain Ryder Cup will be renewed this year if possible despite reports. Britain may not send a team before late November due to a heavy schedule and travel costs, complicating a Sept 15 date. The cup would likely be held on the West Coast or in the South with a sponsor challenge. The U S team will be picked in Detroit on June 23 by Craig Wood and George Schneiter with Dudley joining the committee.
