Luke Poulter, Ian Poulter’s son, will play in the United States’ Walker Cup match against Great Britain and Ireland in September.

The 50th edition of the biennial amateur tournament, which will take place in Cypress Point, California, USA, on September 6 and 7th, will feature the 21-year-old in a 10-man squad.

In the St. Andrews Trophy contest between Great Britain and Ireland in July, Poulter Jr. won with 3.5% from four appearances.

He also missed out on a sudden-death play-off against seasoned professional Austen Truslow in June, which he had to advance to the US Open.

His father Ian was part of the European team which won the Ryder Cup in 2004, 2008, 2010, 2012, 2014 and 2018,

The Walker Cup hasn’t been won by Great Britain and Ireland since 2015, which will be led by 55-year-old Dean Robertson, a former European Tour champion.
