University of North Carolina senior David Ford closed with an eight-under par 64 to lead the USA to an 11-stroke victory in the 33rd men’s World Amateur Team Championship, earning its first Eisenhower Trophy since 2014.
The most recent of Australia’s four Eisenhower Trophy wins came in 2016 when Cameron Davis, Harrison Endycott and Curtis Luck triumphed in Mexico, while Australia has lifted the Espirito Santo Trophy three times with Minjee Lee, Su Oh and Shelly Shin the last to do so in Japan in 2014.
