Walker Cup: How U.S. leads after Day 1; Sunday pairings
JUNO BEACH, Fla. – Two years ago at Royal Liverpool, U.S. Walker Cup captain Nathaniel Crosby vowed to never sit one of his players more than once. After all, he knew what it felt like, as Jay Sigel sat Crosby twice in his only Walker Cup, in 1983.
After his formula was successful at Hoylake, Crosby was determined to repeat the process this week at Seminole Golf Club. However, a stomach virus had other plans, knocking out three of his players – Tyler Strafaci, Pierceson Coody and John Pak – for Saturday morning’s foursomes session. Strafaci wasn’t able to play at all, missing both sessions on Day 1.
