Kinsale’s John Murphy and Kilkenny’s Mark Power have been selected for the Great Britain and Ireland team to play the USA in the 48th Walker Cup match at Seminole in Florida from May 8-9.

Kinsale’s John Murphy hopes to play Walker Cup this year and he certainly can’t be accused of not giving it 100 per cent after he finished second in the V1 Sports General Hackler Championship to clinch his third top-10 from his last four starts.
