In this poignant print captured by Colorsport Images, the raw emotions of Ken Brown are laid bare for all to see. It was during the 1977 Ryder Cup at Royal Lytham and St Annes that Brown's despair is etched on his face after a missed putt cost him and Mark James their second day four-ball match against Hale Irwin and Lou Graham. The intensity of the moment is palpable as Brown stands near the green, his body language reflecting his disappointment. The weight of defeat hangs heavy in the air as he contemplates what could have been. This single stroke had significant consequences not only for himself but also for Great Britain's chances in the prestigious tournament.
