After five straight Walker Cup victories, Team USA were unable to retain the trophy after an epic final day comeback from Team GB&I at Lahinch Golf Club.

Whitewashing their opponents 4-0 in the Sunday morning foursomes, USA led 9.5-6.5 going into the afternoon singles, with the Walker Cup seemingly heading back to the States once again.

However, Team GB&I rallied in Ireland and, claiming seven points from the 10 matches in the afternoon meant the trophy returned to the home team for the first time since 2015.
