First United States will compete against their colleagues from Great Britain and Ireland in a competition according to the great -grandfather of the former president.
“You know, GH Walker had many children – who then had a lot of children,” Bush said about the connection of his family to this event. “And many of them are here and probably wonder how it comes that I am the guy who can speak to the Walker Cup and not. My answer is: run for the president.”
In the course of his history, some of the best of the game took part in the Walker Cup before going to Greater Fame, including Jack Nicklaus, Tiger Woods, Rory McIlroy and Scottie Scheffler. The time will only show whether one of the 20 competitors of this year – most in college – will join this famous group.
The US team seems to have the advantage on the home and on a winning streak with four games at least on paper. The six best amateur players in the world, including number one Jackson Koivun von Auburn University, Are in the US squad.

Of the ten American players hail from Texas.
The top ranger (#10) of GB & I is Tyler Weaver from England, who plays his college golf Florida State University.
“I don’t think the rankings mean too much at such an event,” said Weaver. “Of course you also have some really high -ranking players, but our team is also great, and the ranking at the end of the day doesn’t really mean too much.”
