USA Dominates Sunday Singles To Win 47th Walker Cup, First Overseas Win Since 2007
/
Alistair Tait of Golfweek says Team USA kept up the tradition of strong American singles play, winning eight of ten to capture the 47th Walker Cup.
With the win at Royal Liverpool, this USA team becomes the the first in twelve years to do so.
Crosby’s side is the first U.S. team since a 2007 Walker team at Royal County Down that included Dustin Johnson, Rickie Fowler, Billy Horschel, Webb Simpson and Kyle Stanley to win away from home. Before that you have to go back to 1991 at Portmarnock to find a U.S. win on foreign soil.

From the USA squad, Akshay Bhatia, Brandon Wu, Steven Fisk, Alex Smalley and Isaiah Salinda are all turning pro and Alistair Tait talks to them about ending with a Walker Cup win.
Brentley Romine details the American squads’ view of playing without pressure heading into Sunday as the visiting team, highlighted by a rousing speech from the team’s only returning player, Stewart Hagestad.
Greg Midland at the official Walker Cup site pens a nice game story the players will cherish, especially…
John Augenstein, the 2019 U.S. Amateur runner-up, had a bookend performance of hitting the opening tee shot of the competition on Saturday morning and then securing the clinching point when he won his Sunday afternoon singles match against Thomas Plumb, 4 and 3.
