Stuart Grehan claimed a crucial win against Preston Stout to kick start a famous comeback.
Offaly's Stuart Grehan inspired Great Britain and Ireland to their first Walker Cup in 11 years yesterday.
The Tullamore man, who won the Amateur Open Championship earlier this year, secured Walker Cup legend status with a come from behind victory over the world's top ranked player in Preston Stout.
Seven America's players are in the world's top ten but Great Britain and Ireland denied the States a sixth successive win by claiming seven of the 10 singles points.
Grehan claimed two and a half points over the course of the contest while a dramatic late turnaround saw Eliot Baker claim a full point, and Connor Graham's late birdies secured half a point.
That set up Josh Hill with a chance to win the tournament who birdied the last to secure victory against Tyler Watts and the US team.
