Irish Walker Cup player Gareth Shaw helped his East Tennessee State University men’s golf team to a tie for 10th place in a stacked field at the Isleworth-UCF Collegiate Invitational in Windermere, Florida.

Britain and Ireland’s amateurs needed a near miracle to win back the Walker Cup at Royal County Down today after being whitewashed in the second series of foursomes.

Gareth Shaw continued his collegiate golfing duties a little further into the summer last week when the Irish golfer represented Europe against the United States in the Palmer Cup, the student version of the Ryder Cup.

Niall Turner led home Ireland's quartet of golfers and helped his team to a US collegiate national top10 finish at the season-ending NCAA Championships in Williamsburg, Virginia.
