St Andrews Links champion, Alex Maguire, says having the Walker Cup on the Old Course this year could be the perfect platform for a home victory.

USA have won every Walker Cup since a five-strong Irish contingent helped GB&I to victory at Royal Lytham in 2015 and Maguire is confident this team can replicate those heroics.
