The 51st Walker Cup reaches its final day on Sunday with the United States leading Great Britain & Ireland 6½–5½, according to Yahoo Sports. The biennial amateur competition remains unresolved ahead of the final sessions at Lahinch, Ireland.

Four foursomes matches are scheduled for the morning, followed by 10 singles matches in the afternoon. All 10 players from each team are due to compete in the singles session.

The United States needs 13 points to retain the Cup, while Great Britain & Ireland requires 13½ points to win. A foursomes victory is worth one point, while a match finishing all-square after 18 holes earns each side half a point.

The foursomes matches use an alternate-shot format. Scheduled pairings include Preston Stout and Ethan Fang against Stuart Grehan and Eliot Baker, and Jay Leng Jr. and Kihei Akina against Luke Poulter and Sam Easterbrook.

Sunday coverage is scheduled on Golf Channel from 3am to 7.30am and 8.30am to 2pm Eastern Time. The supplied source does not include completed results from the final day.
