United States PGA Cup Team and Captain Suzy Whaley was graciously accepted the winning trophy, as the USA team captured the 30th PGA Cup for their first overseas victory since 2009; won a second consecutive Llandudno International Trophy; and earned their 19th win in the series against Great Britain & Ireland, dating back to 1973.
Making history as the first woman to both Captain in the men’s PGA Cup and win it, too, PGA Honorary President Whaley of Palm Beach Gardens, Florida was all smiles on this beautiful day. Whaley was also Captain of the victorious United States Women’s PGA Cup Team in its inaugural event in 2019.
“I have been able to do a lot of amazing things in my career, and this ranks right at the very top,” said Whaley. In the opening Singles match of the final day of the 30th PGA Cup at Foxhills Resort & Club in Surrey, England, both the United States and Great Britain and Ireland’s teams wanted to set a winning tone. With the U.S. up 9.5-6.5 entering Sunday Singles, GB&I’s Ashley Mansell raced out to a seemingly insurmountable 4-up lead over America’s Michael Block after 12 holes.
