Great Britain and Ireland completed a comeback victory to defeat the United States 13½-12½ at the Walker Cup. The team overcame a three-point deficit heading into the final individual round to secure their first title since 2015. Eliot Baker clinched a vital point for the side after beating Stewart Hagestad on the final hole of his singles match. This win marks the biggest comeback in the history of the competition. Baker, who contributed to a halved match and a loss in earlier foursomes, plans to turn professional within the next month. The 23-year-old indicated that he intends to pursue a spot on the DP World Tour now that his amateur career has reached its peak.
