Ireland’s boxing great Katie Taylor bows out as undisputed champion

The 40-year-old retained her WBA, IBF and WBO super-lightweight belts to become the undisputed champion for third time.

The U.S. golf team delivered another 4-0 victory in Sunday's foursomes matches at the Walker Cup, reminiscent of their dominant performance in 2007. The American squad, including Dustin Johnson, Rickie Fowler, Webb Simpson, and Billy Horschel, showcased an impressive lead in all four matches. Despite the challenging weather conditions, the U.S. managed to remain within a single point of the home team, GB&I, on the par-3 holes.

Both teams were tied on nine holes during the morning session, but no hole was won by more than one point. Unlike 2007, where Horschel and Fowler had to rally from a 4-down deficit, the 2021 American team never trailed in the game. As the U.S. prepares to face GB&I in the final session, they acknowledge that the battle is far from over.

GB&I captain Dean Robertson emphasized the importance of maintaining their momentum and seizing opportunities in the challenging conditions. U.S. captain Nathan Smith stressed the significance of the event and the team's determination to secure a victory.
