CHASKA, Minn., April 3 (UPI) -- Hazeltine National Golf Club, the site of Tony Jacklin's dramatic U.S. Open win and one of Payne
Stewart's two Open victories, has been chosen host for the 2016 Ryder Cup.
Hazeltine will host two PGA Championships -- this year and in 2009 -- before staging the international event between the United States and Europe for the first time.
Designed by Robert Trent Jones in 1962 and remodeled by Rees Jones in 1987, Hazeltine has hosted two U.S. Opens, a U.S. Senior Open and a pair of U.S. Women's Opens. It also will be the site for the 2006 U.S. Amateur.
Originated in 1927, the Ryder Cup used to be held in
odd-numbered years but was postponed in 2001 because of the Sept.11 terrorist attacks.
The United States will defend its title from Sept. 27-29 at The Belfry in England. The event will move to Oakland Hills Country Club in Bloomfield Hills, Mich., in 2004.
