Charlie Ward
Edit ProfileCareer
He would add his name, at some stage, to the roll of honour of almost every leading event in British professional golf, with the exception of the Open. After his victory he returned late to his posting at an Royal Air Force base and as a punishment, was confined to barracks. Ward represented Great Britain on three occasions in the Ryder Cup, in 1947, 1949 and 1951, although he only enjoyed one victory in his six matches, losing twice to Sam Snead and once to Ben Hogan.
Ward died after a short illness in August 2001, a month short of his 90th birthday.
