Great Britain and Ireland Walker Cup captain Garth McGimpsey is in confident mood as his side seek a fourth successive win in the biennial contest with the USA at Chicago Golf Club.
The Irishman, the former Amateur champion, and the rest of the Great Britain and Ireland squad arrived in America last weekend to begin their preparations for the event at the United States' oldest 18-hole golf course.
The squad have already held practice sessions during the week, and McGimpsey, who captained the side to victory in the 2003 Walker Cup at Ganton, is convinced the current team have enough in their locker to continue their recent dominance of the contest.
He said: "The preparations are going well."
