Nathaniel Crosby will captain the United States for a second successive Walker Cup match against Ireland and Great Britain.

The biennial amateur team competition is scheduled to take place on 8 and 9 May at Seminole Golf Club, in Juno Beach, Florida.

Crosby - the youngest son of singer and actor Bing Crosby - will lead a 10-player team comprised of Ricky Castillo, John Pak, Davis Thompson, Pierceson Coody, Austin Eckroat, Stewart Hagestad, Cole Hammer, William Mouw and 2020 US Amateur Championship winner Tyler Strafaci.

The 59-year-old, who skippered the USA to a 151/2-101/2 victory at Royal Liverpool Golf Club in Hoylake in 2019, said in a United States Golf Association statement: "It is once again a great privilege to serve as the USA captain and to work with a group who represent the best of amateur golf.

"The 10 team members have a notable list of accomplishments on the collegiate, national and international levels."

The two-day match consists of 18 singles matches and eight foursomes matches.
