BLOOMFIELD TOWNSHIP, Mich. – Spider Miller’s Walker Cup duties begin in earnest this week at the U.S. Amateur. For the next 13 months, he’ll attend more than a dozen college and amateur events as he scouts players for his 10-man squad.

Miller captained the U.S. team last fall at Royal Lytham, where the Americans lost by seven points, their worst loss in history.
