FROM THE PGA WEBSITE
GB and I PGA Cup captain Russell Weir and his 10-man side have discovered the majority of the United States team that stands in their way of a historic first win on America soil.
The conclusion of the PGA of America's PGA Professional National Championship in Pennsylvania unveiled eight of the side that will be skippered by PGA honorary president Jim Remy.
The final two players in the side will be announced after the USPGA Championship in August.
This year's 25th PGA Cup Match is being played at CordeValle Resort, San Martin, California, between September 16-18, with the GB and I team aiming to wrestle back the Llandudno Trophy, which was first competed for in 1973.
Leading the US challenge is the new PPNC champion David Hutsell of Baltimore. Hutsell, 40, the PGA director of instruction at The Elkridge Club won the championship following a two-hole play-off at Hershey Country Club.
Hutsell will make his first appearance on the US team in the premier international competition for PGA Professionals.
