Ed Dudley

Edward Bishop Dudley (February 19, 1901 – October 25, 1963) was an American professional golfer active in the late 1920s and 1930s.

His achievements were mainly recognized retrospectively, since the PGA Tour of today did not formally exist as such; this situation was the same for all of his cohorts as well.

He won two key matches in the 1937 Ryder Cup, to help the United States win for the first time in Great Britain.

[5] Among Dudley's most famous students were President Dwight Eisenhower, singer Bing Crosby, and comedian Bob Hope.

Dudley died of a heart attack in Colorado Springs, one week after undergoing surgery to remove blood clots from his leg.
