With his team holding a one-point lead in the 51st Walker Cup, GB&I captain Dean Robertson is opting for a “rinse and repeat” method when it comes to his foursomes strategy early Sunday.
Robertson is keeping Ben Bolton and Jack Whaley on the bench, while preserving the pairings as they were Saturday.
The lone difference is a switch of the order — and, by extension, their opponent.
Sam Easterbrook and Luke Poulter will be slotted second, bumping Connor Graham and Tyler Weaver to face Miles Russell and Tyler Watts.
It was the American teenagers who earned the U.S. its only full point during Saturday foursomes, edging Easterbrook and Poulter on the 18th hole.
Nonetheless, Robertson has made the change in hopes a different matchup will bring him a better result.
As for the red, white and blue, U.S. captain Nathan Smith is making one significant adjustment to his lineup.
Smith is calling in William Jennings, and putting Josiah Gilbert on the bench with veteran Stewart Hagestad.
Gilbert found himself 5 down to Eliot Baker at one point during his Saturday’s singles match, while failing to put anything on the board during foursomes play with Ryder Cowan earlier in the day.
