(April 10, 2017) - On Monday the R&A announced two new players had been added to the Great Britain & Ireland Walker Cup roster.

Jack Davidson of Wales was added to the roster after winning the European Nations Cup and the Spanish International Amateur Championship in March. Davidson also registered a third place showing at South American Amateur Championships. Ireland's Robin Dawson was the second player added to the roster after his runner-up showings at the European Nations Cup and South African Stroke Play Championship. Dawson, the sixth native of Ireland on the roster, also placed third at the Cape Province Open. Initial GB&I Roster “Jack [Davidson] and Robin [Dawson] have been playing exceptional golf recently and their invitations to join the squad reflect the excellent results they have achieved so far this year," said GB&I captain Craig Watson. “They have played their way into contention for team selection and there is still the opportunity for others to do the same as we move into the domestic season.” Up next for the GB&I squad is a practice session in early May.
