The United States recorded back-to-back PGA Cup victories over the Great Britain & Ireland thanks to a pulsating clash between the two nations at Foxhills Club & Resort.

Led by PGA of America honorary president, Suzy Whaley, the US overcame a brave fightback from DJ Russell’s GB&I team to claim their first win in the UK/Ireland since 2009.
