Playing against Irishman Eamonn Darcy in the 1987 Ryder Cup at Muirfield Village, Ben Crenshaw got off to a poor start in the singles.
There was a heated atmosphere and the normally “gentle” Ben became agitated. In fact, his frustration got the better of him as he went two-down through six holes. Walking off the green he slammed his trusty Wilson 8802 putter into the ground – It snapped.
