The 17th Ryder Cup Matches were held October 20–22, 1967 at the Champions Golf Club in Houston, Texas.
The United States team won the competition by a record score of 231⁄2 to 81⁄2 points.[1][2][3] To date, the 15-point victory margin remains the largest at the Ryder Cup.[4]
Ben Hogan was named the captain of the U.S. team in May 1967, five months before the matches.[5] He opted for the U.S. team to use the smaller British golf ball; the same weight, its diameter was .06 inches (1.5 mm) smaller at 1.62 inches (4.11 cm).[6]
The match had originally been arranged for June 9–11, a date that the British P.G.A. had reluctantly agreed to, as it interfered with the British tournament season. In April 1966, it was agreed that the dates be changed to October 20–22.[7]
The course hosted the U.S. Open two years later in 1969.
