Who Won

>> Britain's Graham Hill, 36: the U.S. Grand Prix, on a rain-slicked, 2.3-mile circuit that held his B.R.M. racer to a relatively slow 107.98 m.p.h. average; at Watkins Glen, N.Y. One of the early dropouts (only three of 18 cars lasted the full 110 laps) was World Champion Jimmy Clark, whose engine started acting up in the fifth lap, leaving the rest of the race to Hill, who, despite one scary 100-m.p.h. spinout on a curve, managed to set a 115.16 m.p.h. lap record on the way to his third straight victory at the Glen.

>> The U.S.'s Ryder Cup golf team: its fourth straight victory in the biennial match-play tournament with British pros, scoring 191 points in 32 matches; at Southport, England. Ahead 9-7 after the two-ball and four-ball foursomes, the ten-man U.S. team smashed through the singles, taking ten and halving one of 16 matches, with Arnold Palmer clinching the tournament by stroking an 18th-hole eagle to beat his opponent's birdie--and dazzle an army that included Prime Minister Harold Wilson.
