2019 Walker Cup

On Saturday, there were four matches of foursomes in the morning and eight singles matches in the afternoon. On Sunday, there were four matches of foursomes in the morning, followed by ten singles matches (involving every player) in the afternoon. In all, 26 matches were played.

Each of the 26 matches was worth one point in the larger team competition. If a match was all square after the 18th hole extra holes were not played. Rather, each side earned ½ a point toward their team total. The team that accumulated at least 13½ points won the competition. In the event of a tie, the previous winner would retain the Cup.

Ten players for the United States and Great Britain & Ireland played in the event with each team having a non-playing captain. The two teams were announced following the U.S. Amateur.

Craig Watson was the captain of the Great Britain & Ireland team, while Nathaniel Crosby captained the United States team.[1]
