The 50th Walker Cup delivered high drama on Saturday, with a closely fought contest providing an eye-catching final day at Cypress Point.
Comprised of morning foursomes and afternoon singles, Team GB&I took an early 3-1 lead in California, winning the first three foursomes matches 3&1, 3&2 and 1-up.
Ian Poulter's son, Luke, claimed his foursomes match alongside Charlie Forster 3&2
Although Cameron Adam and Dominic Clemons lost their match 4&2 to Michael La Sasso and Jase Summy, the GB&I team held a two point advantage over the Americans heading into the afternoon.
However, the US side fired back in the eight singles matches, taking 5.5 points from a possible 8, with Niall Shiels Donegan, Connor Graham and Stuart Grehan the only players to score for Team GB&I.
It means that, going into Sunday, the US are just seven points away from retaining the Walker Cup, with the 10-man side needing to reach the 13.5 point mark to keep the trophy for a fifth straight event.
Jase Summy was one of two players to claim two victories on Saturday
Like we saw on Saturday, Sunday's play will consist of foursomes and singles, with four matches taking place in the morning and all 10-players featuring in the afternoon.
Timing-wise, the foursomes will begin at 11.00am ET, with the singles getting underway at 4.30pm.
