COURSE DESIGNER: 1995 Ryder Cup Champion Philip Walton

In common with fellow Irishman Paul McGinley, will always be remembered for securing victory in The Ryder Cup - his moment coming in 1995 at Oak Hill. Playing Jay Haas in the penultimate singles, he held his nerve to two putt the final green for the crucial win. Philip grew up on the links at Malahide just north of Dublin. He spent three years at Oklahoma University. Collected three points out of four in 1981 and 1983 Walker Cups before turning professional. Back on The European Tour for the first time since losing his card in 1999 and enduring five unsuccessful visits to the Qualifying School Finals. His return is one of the heart-warming stories of 2004.
