Ten golfers have been selected for the Great Britain and Ireland team to compete against the United States of America in the 50th Walker Cup match at Cypress Point.
Taking place at the breathtaking venue on the Monterey Peninsula in California on Saturday 6 and Sunday 7 September, GB&I is bidding to win the famous trophy for the first time since 2015 when the team secured a 16½-9½ victory at Royal Lytham & St Annes.
Dean Robertson will captain the GB&I side, with the former European Tour winner leading his team to an impressive 16½-8½ triumph over the Continent of Europe at the St Andrews Trophy in Spain last month.
Robertson said, “This talented team represents the very best in skill, unity, resilience and determination and each player is thoroughly deserving of the opportunity to compete in the Walker Cup for Great Britain and Ireland.
“I’ve been watching the players over a long period to understand their personalities and attributes to meet the demands presented by Cypress Point.
“We are underdogs but I’m confident we are equipped to compete at the highest level and will give it our best shot. We are travelling to Cypress Point to embrace the challenge, honour the legacy of the Walker Cup and aim to make history by reclaiming this famous trophy.”
