Overview

• Americans won eight of the ten Sunday singles matches to turn a one-point edge into a 17–9 victory.
• Stewart Hagestad’s 20-foot birdie on 15 closed out a 4-and-3 win that ensured the cup stayed in U.S. hands, and Preston Stout clinched the result with a 2-and-1 defeat of Luke Poulter.
• U.S. Amateur champion Mason Howell went 2-0-1, highlighted by a 35-foot birdie on the 15th and a hole-out eagle on the 17th in foursomes.
• The win extends the United States’ streak to five consecutive Walker Cups, with GB&I still seeking a first triumph since 2015 and a first on U.S. soil since 2001.
• Rory McIlroy urged GB&I to “please beat them” and predicted European success at Bethpage, Keegan Bradley posted a rallying message to the U.S. amateurs, and Bryson DeChambeau delivered a pump-up talk credited by the U.S. captain.
