“The Concession” 🤝 #OnThisDay 49 years ago.

49 years ago today, one of the game’s greatest acts of sportsmanship took place at the Ryder Cup, where Jack Nicklaus conceded a 2-foot putt to Tony Jacklin CBE, resulting in a tie. 📷: Golf Channel.

Match 1 halved after US Mid-Amateur champ Matt Parziale sinks 3-foot birdie putt on 18 after 7-iron from 182 yards. He and Scott Harvey halve with Jack Gaunt and Simon Richardson.

Impressive 6&4 win for Stewart Hagestad and Michael McDermott over Golf S T R O N G ⛳️💪🏼 and Matt Clark in Match #5. Also, in Match #3, 2015 #usfourball champs Nathan Smith and Todd White win 3&2 over Bobby Leopold and David Corben.

Another result is in: #USSeniorAm champ Sean Knapp and Doug Hanzel of USA hold on for 1-up win over Garth McGimpsey and Stephen East. Score is 3 ½ to ½ in favor of U.S.

Match #6 just completed with another USA flag on top. Gene Elliott and Matt Sughrue defeat Bryan Hughes and Ian Crowther, 4&3. And Match 4 just in with USA's Tim Jackson and John McClure winning 3&1 over Graham Bell and Ronnie Clark. USA leads 5 ½-½.
