Walker Cup update

There's a lot on the line this afternoon for Jacob Modleski and Miles Russell. Both players are on the Walker Cup bubble. A win this week, and they're on the team, but both have made good runs thus far. However, being able to make the quarterfinals could go a long way in whether they're playing at Cypress Point in three weeks.

Miles Russell hangs on

The top-ranked junior in the world is into the Round of 16. He was 3 up with four to play and stepped on the 18th tee tied with Billy Davis, but Russell hits a clutch birdie putt to win.
