The United States rallied at St. Andrews to win the Walker Cup on Sunday for the fourth straight time.

ST. ANDREWS, Scotland -- Gordon Sargent lived up to his billing as the No. 1 amateur in the world by winning all four of his matches at St. Andrews as the United States rallied to win the Walker Cup on Sunday for the fourth straight time.

The Americans won six of the 10 matches and halved two others to complete a Sunday rally in which they outscored GB&I 10-4 over two sessions."They played hard to the bitter end," U.S. captain Mike McCoy said."This one is going to be a great ride home." Sargent and John Gough of England were all square going to the 17th when Gough sent his drive too far right, just over the ball near the Old Course Hotel and out-of-bounds. That gave Sargent a 1-up lead. Sargent, a junior at Vanderbilt, then drove the 18th green with a 3-wood and Gough conceded the match as Sargent's eagle putt trickled to a stop near the hole.

"All the momentum seemed to be on the U.S. side," GB&I captain Stuart Wilson said."Their players handled the conditions better than our guys."GB&I was looking to win for the first time since 2015 at Royal Lytham & St. Annes and had the momentum with a 7½-4½ lead after the two Saturday sessions. McCoy said he was concerned because the morning foursomes is not the U.S. strength.
