Dalgleish named Walker Cup team captain

Former Scottish champion Colin Dalgleish will captain Britain and Ireland when they try to win back the Walker Cup from the US at Royal County Down in September 2007.

The 45-year-old takes over from Garth McGimpsey, who steered the side to an unprecedented third successive victory at Ganton two years ago, but in August saw the United States regain the trophy in Chicago on the last green of the last game.
