George Lyon a effectu\u00e9 ses d\u00e9buts olympiques \u00e0 St. Louis 1904<\/a>, \u00e0 l\u2019\u00e2ge de 46 ans. Son coup de d\u00e9part non-orthodoxe, qui ressemblait davantage \u00e0 un coup de b\u00e2ton au cricket, a beaucoup retenu l\u2019attention. Il a surv\u00e9cu aux rondes \u00e9liminatoires et dans la rencontre pour le titre, Lyon a battu le champion am\u00e9ricain Chandler Egan. Reconnu comme un athl\u00e8te amusant et facile \u00e0 aimer, Lyon a march\u00e9 jusqu\u2019\u00e0 la c\u00e9r\u00e9monie de remise de troph\u00e9es sur ses mains. Lyon a ensuite particip\u00e9 \u00e0 Londres 1908<\/a>, mais une dispute au sujet du format de la comp\u00e9tition a entra\u00een\u00e9 le boycottage de tous les golfeurs britanniques, laissant Lyon comme unique participant. Lyon s\u2019est vu offrir la m\u00e9daille d\u2019or, mais il l\u2019a refus\u00e9e. Le r\u00e8gne de Lyon comme champion olympique de golf a dur\u00e9 112 ans, puisque ce sport a seulement effectu\u00e9 son retour au programme de Rio 2016<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Lyon a commenc\u00e9 le golf \u00e0 l\u2019\u00e2ge de 37 ans, remportant le Championnat amateur canadien trois ans plus tard. Il a empoch\u00e9 huit titres, de 1898 \u00e0 1914. Il a par la suite \u00e9t\u00e9 couronn\u00e9 champion canadien senior 10 fois, de 1918 \u00e0 1932. Lyon a perdu en finale de l\u2019Omnium amateur des \u00c9tats-Unis en 1906, en demi-finale de l\u2019Omnium britannique amateur en 1908 et il a \u00e9t\u00e9 finaliste de l\u2019Omnium canadien en 1910. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Excellent athl\u00e8te, Lyon a connu du succ\u00e8s dans plusieurs disciplines, notamment au baseball, au curling, au football et au tennis. En 1876, il d\u00e9tenait le record canadien au saut \u00e0 la perche. En 1894, il a repr\u00e9sent\u00e9 le Canada huit fois au cricket, maintenant une moyenne de 14,07 et un pointage de 238 sans \u00eatre retir\u00e9 dans un match de club. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tout en poursuivant son parcours au golf, Lyon a fait carri\u00e8re dans le domaine de l\u2019assurance. Membre de l\u2019arm\u00e9e canadienne, il a servi pendant la R\u00e9bellion du Nord-Ouest en 1885. Lyon a mis sur pied l\u2019Association royale de golf du Canada en 1923 et il a \u00e9t\u00e9 capitaine du Club de golf de Lambton pendant 23 ans.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Le Championnat George S. Lyon de golf par \u00e9quipe a \u00e9t\u00e9 disput\u00e9 pour la premi\u00e8re fois en 1948, pr\u00e9sent\u00e9 par Golf Ontario sur un terrain de la r\u00e9gion de Toronto. Lyon a \u00e9t\u00e9 intronis\u00e9 au Panth\u00e9on des sports canadiens en 1995 ainsi qu\u2019au Temple de la renomm\u00e9e du golf canadien et au Temple de la renomm\u00e9e olympique du Canada en 1971.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
