Golf: No fear factor for Walker Cup team

Nick Faldo protege Nick Dougherty and Jamie Elson, whose father Pip played on the European tour, have both been named today in the Britain and Ireland team which will defend the Walker Cup in Georgia on August 11-12.

Dougherty is the 19-year-old Liverpudlian whom Faldo took under his wing when he launched his junior series and who finished a brilliant 12th in the Benson and Hedges International Open at The Belfry in May.
