THE RYDER CUP:
The trophy is 17 inches high, 9 inches wide (from handle to handle) and weighs 4 pounds. The golfer atop the chalice is Abe Mitchell, Ryder's golf instructor, who was supposed to captain the first British team. Mitchell missed the first matches because of appendicitis, but he did play in 1929, 1931, and 1933.
