The United States reclaimed the PGA Cup from Great Britain & Ireland in a hard-fought set of Sunday singles. Don Yrene and Chip Sullivan earned the USA's first points of the day, and Chris Starkjohann clinched the victory as the Americans pulled out a 13 1/2 to 12 1/2 triumph.

The Sunday singles were a microcosm of the entire PGA Cup competition: Quality golfers contesting a series of tight matches, many of which could have gone either way. GBI won the day, but fell just short of retaining the Llandudno Trophy.

In his final PGA Cup blog entry, U.S. Captain Roger Warren explains how impressed he was with the heart and courage of his players, as well as the classy way the Great Britain & Ireland team handled themselves all week in the heat of battle.

Falling just short of retaining the Llandudno Trophy is very disappointing, writes GBI Captain in his final PGA Cup blog entry. But the week was very special for everyone, he said, and everyone did everything they could to try to win.

Heading into Sunday with a two-point lead has the U.S. Team optimistic, writes Captain Roger Warren in his PGA Cup blog. But, he stresses, no one on the squad underestimates how tough it will be to seal the deal in the closing singles.

Of course he'd rather be ahead by two points than behind by two, writes GBI Captain Gary Alliss in his PGA Cup blog. But, he notes, both he and his players know they can make history with a come-from-behind victory on Sunday.

Sparked by a highlight-reel shot from Butch Sheehan Saturday afternoon, the United States forged a two-point edge over Great Britain & Ireland in the 23rd PGA Cup. The competition will be decided in the 10 Sunday singles matches.

Team USA owns a 9-7 lead after Day Two of the 23rd PGA Cup, thanks to victories in three of the four Saturday afternoon four-ball matches. George Ryall and Duncan Muscroft won the final match to give GBI its only afternoon point.

The United States rallied to win the final two matches of the Saturday morning foursomes and added another halve to win the session 2 1/2 to 1 1/2 and knot the overall score at 6-6. The Bevan/Ryall duo earned GBI's only full point of the session.

Despite being a little disappointed to come out on the short end of the score Friday, United States Captain Roger Warren writes in his PGA Cup blog, he still believes his team is right where they need to be to regain the Llandudno Trophy.

In the Day One edition of his PGA Cup blog, GBI Captain Gary Alliss talks about how impressed he was with the quality of play in both the foursomes and four-ball matches. His only regret is not having more time to take everything in.

Great Britain & Ireland rallied for a pair of victories and a halve in the foursomes Friday afternoon to grab a 4 1/2 to 3 1/2 edge over the United States on Opening Day. The teams had battled to a 2-2 draw in the morning four-balls.

Great Britain & Ireland won two matches and halved another in the afternoon foursomes on Friday to end the opening day with a 4 1/2 to 3 1/2 lead. Paul Wesselingh of GBI was part of one winning duo and helped halve another match.

Two matches were won decisively, while two others went the distance before ending in halves in a compelling Friday morning session of four-balls that opened the 23rd PGA Cup. The end result was a 2-2 deadlock between two determined squads.

As they worked through their final preparations on Thursday, both squads worked to get a bit more familiar with the foursomes and four-ball formats. Both teams are excited about the team formats, but admit they present a unique challenge.

In this edition of his exclusive PGA Cup blog, U.S. Captain Roger Warren discusses the challenges he faces in putting his two-man teams together and the motivation he and his players have to win again after the U.S. lost in Ireland in 2005.

Gary Alliss was shocked to be selected as Great Britain and Ireland's captain, he admits in this edition of his exclusive PGA Cup blog. Now that he's here, his strategy is to get all his players engaged, and balance their excitement with calm.

The Oconee Course at Reynolds Plantation is a gorgeous and challenging layout that will be great for the PGA Cup, says Head Professional Mike Davenport. The course isn't tricky, he adds, but the winners will need to make lots of birdies.

U.S. Captain Roger Warren is wasting no time in throwing down the gauntlet. He's sending out Mike Small, who played in both the PGA Championship and U.S. Open this summer, in the opening match, which tees off at 8:00 a.m.

After having its long PGA Cup winning streak snapped in an upset at the K Club in Ireland two years ago, a veteran United States Team descends on Reynolds Plantation in Georgia this week in search of the comforts of home.

After losing in Ireland two years ago, Team USA looks to start another win streak against GB&I. "I can assure you that those of us returning to the team this year will not need a pep talk to get motivated," according to USA veteran Tim Thelen.

After losing some of its luster over the years, and dented thanks to a wayward German bomb during World War II, the famed Llandudno International Trophy recently received from tender TLC during its two-year stay in Great Britain.

The PGA Cup, the premier international competition for PGA Professionals, will make its first appearance in Georgia when the 23rd edition of the Ryder Cup-like event is played Sept. 21-23 at the renowned Oconee Course at Reynolds Plantation.

The United States almost overcame a historic deficit at the K Club, rolling up a record seven victories and a halve in a spirited attempt to pull off golf's ultimate rally. But Great Britain and Ireland held on for a 15-11 triumph in the 22nd PGA Cup.
