Malcolm Stevenson

“Genius at number three” is how 10-goaler Malcolm Stevenson was described. In an era of test matches, of headline-making international rivalries, he was the man to count on. His uncanny sense of anticipation and accurate shots were his hallmark, making him the great play-maker that he was.

An all-around horseman, his place of honor was secured by his winning performance in the 1924 and 1927 Westchester Cup over Great Britain and the 1928 Cup of the Americas against Argentina, affirming decisively American polo’s supremacy in his time. Four U.S. Open Championships, seven Senior Twenty Goal Championships, and a Monty Waterbury title rounded out one of polo’s most illustrious careers.
