WALKER CUP MIRACLE, OMEGA MASTERS DRAMA & THE SOLHEIM COUNTDOWN
Right, let’s talk about Lahinch. Greatest comeback in Walker Cup history? You’re damn right it was. GB&I got slapped around 4-0 in the Sunday foursomes and looked dead and buried. Then the blue wave hit. Stuart Grehan takes down Preston Stout — the World No. 1 amateur. And listen, that kid Stout? What a golf swing. What a player. Mark my words, he'll be one of the best in the world as a pro. But today, Grehan owned him.
Then Whaley goes 8&7, Poulter & Weaver turn the tide. But it all came down to Josh Hill — bunker shot on 18, up and down to win it 13.5-12.5. Ireland went absolutely mental. First win in 11 years. Goosebumps.
QUICK HIT FROM CRANS-MONTANA
Meanwhile in Switzerland, Thriston Lawrence outlasted Paul Casey in a four-hole playoff at the Omega European Masters. The 49-year-old Casey missed four putts to win — including a 20-footer on 18 in regulation — but Lawrence sank the birdie to take his third title, matching Seve. Casey donates his $412k to the fire victims. Classy, even in gut-wrenching defeat.
