Prior to the Ryder Cup matches at Hazeltine, two of the most iconic golf courses in the world – St. Andrews and Pinehurst – made a neat wager.
Hey, @TheHomeofGolf, the #RyderCup is here. Let's make things interesting:#RyderCupWager pic.twitter.com/YQtviQWhm5

If the U.S. lost, Pinehurst No. 2 offered to fly the pin flag of St. Andrews on its 18th hole. And if the U.S. won, St. Andrews would have to fly Pinehurst’s flag.
Well, we all know who won.
And following the loss, St. Andrews announced that the wager would be honored.
All loaded up and ready to go! We'll post @PinehurstResort no2 flag on 18th of #OldCourse tomorrow am #RyderCupWager pic.twitter.com/sZu6l2sV93

So yesterday, there it was… the Pinehurst No. 2 flag was (slightly) blowing in the wind on the 18th hole at the Old Course at St. Andrews.
It's a beautiful day in Scotland.#RyderCupWager
Great thanks, @TheHomeofGolf. We will honor the Old Course here today. More to come. pic.twitter.com/AA4G9ZRAGJ
