Wolstenholme will look to extend record

Gary Wolstenholme has set his sights on yet another Walker Cup appearance after Great Britain & Ireland’s narrow defeat to the US at Chicago Golf Club yesterday.

The 44-year-old became Great Britain & Ireland’s record points holder in the event as his one hole win over Anthony Kim in the singles took his haul to 10 points from 17 Walker Cup ties, eclipsing the previous best held by amateur great Sir Michael Bonallack who plundered 9 1/2 points from his 25 cup matches.
