WALKER CUP SQUAD ANNOUNCED - 11th Dec 2006
A squad of 22 players has been selected to prepare for the Walker Cup match to be played at Royal County Down, Newcastle on 8 and 9 September 2007.
Former Walker Cup players Lloyd Saltman, Richie Ramsay (US Amateur Champion), Gary Wolstenholme, Rhys Davies and Nigel Edwards (South African Amateur Champion), plus 2006 St Andrews Trophy players Rory McIlroy (European Individual Amateur Champion) and Jamie Moul, head an exciting squad with an excellent blend of youth and experience.
Captain Colin Dalgleish explained that exclusion from the squad did not mean that players could not eventually force their way into the side next year, “We are very conscious that young players improve so quickly that it is very possible, indeed likely, that one or two players in the team could come from outside this squad. However, we want to familiarize our best players with the course and consequently we are planning a trip to Royal County Down in April. We also want to let the squad know that every one of them is in a strong position to force his way into the team”.
Retiring Chairman of Selectors, Peter McEvoy agreed, “It is nice to see five Walker Cup players in the squad, together with six St Andrews Trophy players. If they can play well in the lead up to the match and are joined by some of the existing young talent which abounds, we should have another very strong 10-player team.”
