The first four members of America's Walker Cup team to face Britain and Ireland next month have been named.
They are last year's United States champion Peter Uihlein, who made the cut at The Open last month, 19-year-old Patrick Cantlay, who finished 21st at the US Open in June and then shot 60 on the PGA Tour, and Russell Henley and Harris English, both of whom have won Nationwide Tour titles this season.
The 2011 Walker Cup will be contested at Royal Aberdeen on 10-11 September.
