Graeme McDowell tells Paul Dunne to skip Walker Cup for pro ranks

Graeme McDowell believes Paul Dunne should give the Walker Cup a miss and take the leap into the professional ranks as soon as possible.

But Pádraig Harrington believes he should remain amateur and play at Royal Lytham and St Annes in September if he’s selected.

Asked his advice, Harrington said: “You know, he can be a pro all his life. The Walker Cup only comes around not very often. I think he should play in the Walker Cup and turn pro then.”
