Great Britain and Ireland Wins PGA Cup
SAN MARTIN, Calif. — Ireland's Niall Kearney beat Alan Morin 1 up to give Great Britain and Ireland its first PGA Cup victory on U.S. soil, a 13 1/2-12 1/2 decision Sunday at CordeValle
Great Britain and Ireland cut the Americans' series lead to 17-6-4 in the event for club professionals.
Kearney got up-and-down for par from behind the 18th green to halve the hole, win the match and give GB&I the Llandudno Trophy. Facing a false front and water beyond the hole, Kearney hit a chip that cleared a deep bunker and rolled within 7 feet.
"I heard my caddie (Eddie Icaza) say, 'Just hit it right edge.' And that is what I did," Kearney said.
