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.

"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."
