Great Britain v. America
An account of the morning's play in the amateur international golf match, by Bernard Darwin from the Royal and Ancient Golf Club, St. Andrews
Great Britain has a dark horse in the eighteen-year-old Irishman, James Bruen, who has done the four rounds at St. Andrews in 282-three strokes better than Bobby Jones's record. Among other members of the team are Frank Pennink, English champion for two years in succession; that giant, Leonard Crawley, one of the famous athletic family, who might have represented England at cricket if he had not taken up golf; Gordon Peters, the young Scottish golfer, with a fluent style; Alexander Kyle, another Scot, twice champion of Yorkshire; Charles Stowe , who never gives up; and John Beck, the captain.
The American team, which landed in England three weeks ago, is captained by Francis Ouimet, who has been a member of all ten Walker Cup teams - a record. They are one of the youngest sides that has ever been chosen.
There will be a further commentary this afternoon.
