U.S. Walker Cup team visits Arnie, plans NYC stops

Spider Miller is taking a more inclusive approach to his U.S. Walker Cup captaincy.

He won’t determine his team’s pairings for next week’s biennial matches. His players will.

Miller said on a conference call Wednesday that he will ask all 10 of his players to write down, 1-5, with whom they’d prefer to be paired.

“What I’m not going to do is sit down and try to analyze each person’s game,” he said. “You’d drive yourself crazy.”

Indeed, Hal Sutton, he is not.

Miller recently had an hour-long conversation with Dave Stockton, who emphasized the importance of getting each player involved in the process and matching up by personality.
