Captain hails record-breakers

Great Britain and Ireland captain Nigel Edwards hailed his side’s special achievement after they regained the Walker Cup in record-breaking fashion, securing an emphatic victory with six matches to spare.

Leading the United States 10-6 after the morning foursomes at Royal Lytham, the home side required just three and a half points from the 10 singles to secure a fifth win in the last six contests on home soil.
