Perhaps it was apropos that the fog rolled into the Monterey Peninsula late Sunday afternoon. As the sun-splashed day morphed into a grey mist, the USA Walker Cup Team broke open what was a tight contest at Cypress Point to leave the visiting Great Britain and Ireland side in a fog, rolling to a 17-9 victory in the 50th edition of the biennial competition.
Dominating the singles portion for a second consecutive day, the USA produced 8.5 of the available 10 points after the two teams split the morning foursomes session (2-2) and trailed by a point going into the lunch break. Since 2009, when the Match expanded to 10 Sunday singles matches, it was the largest margin of victory in a final session (8-1-1), surpassing the two 8-2 marks in 2017 and ’19.
The 50th Walker Cup Match at Cypress Point Club concludes on Sunday.
Here are the pairings and tee times for Sunday's foursome matches and singles matches.

That spot between your driver and longest iron is an area of frustration for many players. Woods can be tough to hit consistently or control.

Cypress Point Club will be set up at 6,620 yards and will play to a par of 36-34-70. The yardage for each session of the competition will vary due to course setup and conditions.
