After Walker Cup WD, Horsfield qualifies for Gators' lineup at Carpet Capital

Sam Horsfield will play his first college tournament for the University of Florida this weekend, despite withdrawing from the Walker Cup due to “personal reasons.”

Horsfield, 18, has qualified to play for Florida in the Carpet Capital Collegiate, which begins Friday at The Farm Golf Club in Rocky Face, Ga., the same day as the opening ceremony for the Walker Cup at Royal Lytham and St. Annes.

Horsfield, ranked 26th in the World Amateur Golf Ranking and the fourth-highest ranked Great Britain & Ireland player, was born in Manchester, England, but lives in Davenport, Fla.
