Golf: McEvoy walking tall again

Britain and Ireland’s Walker Cup team, winners in America for only the second time in history, have overwhelmingly taken the Golf Writers’ Trophy for 2001.

The side captained by Peter McEvoy, who won the award both by himself in 1978 and as a member of the only previous team to triumph on United States soil in 1989, pushed women’s world number one Annika Sorenstam into second place.
