Christy O'Connor Sr., an Irish golfing legend who made 10 Ryder Cup appearances, died Saturday. He was 91.
The Press Association (via the Guardian) confirmed the news. The report included a statement from Ryder Cup director Richard Hills, who said: "Today we have lost not only one of the greatest Ryder Cup players the game has even seen, but an incredible man."
He added: "Christy did so much for the game of golf and his legacy will long live on. After the tragic, sudden death of his nephew, Christy O'Connor Jr., in January, golf has lost two of its greatest men.
