JUNO BEACH, Fla. – No one man should have all that power, but Mark Power harnessed his mighty game and was the star for the Great Britain and Ireland team on Day 1 of the 48th Walker Cup.
The Wake Forest sophomore by way of Kilkenny, Ireland, was the only member of the visiting side Saturday at Seminole Golf Club, teaming with countryman and Louisville senior John Murphy in a comeback victory over Quade Cummins and Austin Eckroat in foursomes before topping the Americans’ horse, Davis Thompson, 3 and 2 in singles.
“I played pretty consistent, just consistently bad in some spots,” Power said.
