Michael Joseph Ryan (18 July 1897 – 1 August 1965)[2] was an Australian amateur golfer.
Ryan also played Australian rules football for South Melbourne in the Victorian Football League (VFL). Ryan made just one senior appearance for South Melbourne, in the 1918 VFL season, when they defeated Richmond in a game at Lake Oval.[3] South Melbourne went on to win the premiership that year.
Ryan joined the Royal Park Golf Club in 1925 and won their Championship the following year. He later went to Kingston Heath.[4][5] In 1932, he won the Australian Open.
In 2002, he was named as one of the twelve members of the Victorian golfing team of the 20th century.[6]
