John Miller has been named captain of the United States' team again for the 2017 Walker Cup match at Los Angeles Country Club.

The 64-year-old was in charge for the 2015 event during September when Great Britain and Ireland defeated the USA 16-and-a-half to nine-and-a-half at Royal Lytham & St Annes - securing the greatest winning margin in the competition since it was first played in 1922.

Miller, who himself played in the 1999 Walker Cup, said: "This year at the Walker Cup, I had the great honour to captain a team of our country's most talented collegiate and mid-amateur players.

"They lived up to every ideal and purpose that the match has exemplified since it began more than 90 years ago. The lasting friendships with the players and their families and friends will endure a lifetime.

"I am indeed humbled and honoured to have the opportunity to captain another group of such fine players and countrymen."
