Notes: The 2007 USA Walker Cup team was chock full of future PGA Tour stars (and even major winners), while GB&I had Rory McIlroy. It was (looking ahead to the future) star-studded. ... The score was tied 6-6 after Day 1. But on Day 2, Team USA raced out to a 10-6 lead by sweeping the foursomes. ... GB&I won five of the matches in the last singles session, but the comeback wasn't enough.
