Great Britain and Ireland captured the Walker Cup today for the first time since 2003. The final score was 14-12, with the US capturing 6 1/2 of the 10 points up for grabs in today’s singles matches.
The US made a game of it, but the difference between the teams may have come down to a rules violation yesterday by one of the GB&I players. Jack Senior, in his match with Andy Sullivan against Russell Henley and Kelly Kraft, used his brother Joe Senior, a Euro Tour player as his caddie. The rules sheet clearly states that professional golfers are not allowed to act as caddies at the Walker Cup.
