The first five players were named to the 10-man U.S. Walker Cup team on Monday, with no surprises.
NCAA Player of the Year Maverick McNealy, NCAA champion Bryson DeChambeau, three-time U.S. Open qualifier Beau Hossler, Georgia All-American Lee McCoy and world No. 5 Hunter Stewart will represent the U.S. at the Sept. 12-13 event at Royal Lytham and St. Annes.
The team, captained by Spider Miller, will be finalized after next week’s U.S. Amateur at Olympia Fields.
The USGA once again has stipulated that at least two mid-amateurs (age 25 or older) must make the team.
