UNITED STATES NAME PALMER CUP TEAM FOR ROYAL CO DOWN, JUNE 28 to 30

Yesterday the European team for the Palmer Cup international students' match against the United States was named - two Stirling University men (Graeme Robertson and David Booth) in it.
Now it's the Americans' turn. They have won the last two Palmer Cup contests,
 bringing their overall record in the 15-year competition to 8 wins, 6 defeats and one drawn match.
Here are the eight players that captain Josh Gregory will hope can make it three straight victories when the U.S. side travels to Royal Co Down GC, Newcastle in Northern Ireland  from June 28 to 30.

Blayne Barber, Auburn
Derek Ernst, UNLV
Corbin Mills, Clemson
Patrick Rodgers, Stanford
Justin Thomas, Alabama
James White, Georgia Tech
Chris Williams, Washington
Andrew Yun, Stanford

Yun was a member of the 2011 U.S. side, posting a 4-0 record at The Stanwich Club, where he earned the cup-clinching point. Barber (2-1-1) and Williams (2-0-2) also played last year.
