I will be covering the Walker Cup for Sky Sports this weekend and it is an event I always like to keep an eye on, to see which young amateurs stand out.
I thought the European Solheim Cup team would fail to beat the Americans, but they pulled it out the fire and trounced them and so I am going for our Walker Cuppers to win, too. Europe or Great Britain and Ireland have possession of the Solheim Cup, Ryder Cup, Curtis Cup and Walker Cup and I don't think that the GB&I boys are in the mood to give the Walker Cup back.
Thomas Bjorn, meanwhile, has sacked his caddie but holed a bunker shot on the final green at the Wales Open and will be buoyed by that. So, with presumably a new man on his bag, I think he will win the Omega European Masters in Switzerland.
