RIP Christy O' Connor Junior - Charlemagne - 06-01-2016 15:25
Sad news of the death of former European Ryder Cup player Christy O'Connor Jnr.
The Irishman was the nephew of another Irish golfer Christy O'Connor.
O'Connor was born in 1948 in Galway. He turned professional in 1967.
He won four European Tour events. As a senior he has competed on both the European Seniors Tour and the U.S. based Champions Tour, and has won two Senior British Open titles and two Champions Tour events.
O'Connor played in the Ryder Cup twice. In 1989 he was part of a European team which tied the match to retain the trophy. His personal record was one win, three loses and no ties. His win over Fred Couples was best remembered for a stunning 2 iron shot on the last hole at The Belfry which he left just 4 feet from the hole.
