OLYMPIA FIELDS, Ill. – The finals of the U.S. Amateur also brought to an end a two-year race for the U.S. Walker Cup team.

The USGA announced Sunday the remaining five players who will fill out the 10-man squad: Alabama junior Robby Shelton, Oklahoma State senior Jordan Niebrugge, former Virginia standout Denny McCarthy, and mid-amateurs Scott Harvey and Mike McCoy.

The biennial event will be held Sept. 12-13 at Royal Lytham & St. Annes in England.

The U.S. team will convene for the first time Thursday in Latrobe, Pa., where it will meet with Arnold Palmer and address a few housekeeping items such as apparel and travel arrangements.
