USA win back Walker Cup in emphatic style

The United States regained the Walker Cup on Long Island last night with a ruthless performance that left Great Britain and Ireland with little chance.

America started the final day four points ahead and after sharing the morning foursomes to stay in front at 10-6, had the perfect platform ahead of the singles.

They cruised their way through them untroubled too, reaching the vital 13½ points they needed when Nathan Smith toppled Nathan Kimsey in match five.
