Last weekend 16 Team USA 2017 Walker Cup hopefuls teed it up at Los Angeles Country Club

LOS ANGELES, CA (December 21, 2016) -- Last weekend 16 Team USA 2017 Walker Cup hopefuls teed it up at Los Angeles Country Club in a practice session for the biennial event. The practice session was held in uncharacteristically cold and rainy conditions but it didn't tamper the excitement that came with a chance to compete for a spot on the team for the September 9- 10 match against Great Britain & Ireland. "This practice session has a lot of value for me as the captain and it has a lot of value for the players," Team USA captain Spider Miller said. "It's likely the bulk of the team will come from this pool of players, it doesn't mean that they all will but likely most of them will."
