Lytham St Annes (United Kingdom) (AFP) - Great Britain and Ireland increased their lead over the United States to 10-6 on Sunday with just the closing singles matches to come on the final day of the Walker Cup.

Leading 7-5 after Saturday's play at Royal Lytham, the home side won three of the four morning foursomes and now need to take just three and a half points out of 10 to be sure of regaining the trophy.
