Gulych Wins US Cup In Spectacular Fashion
Maybe it’s the experience of being a little bit older, or maybe it’s the way they play up north. Whatever the case, the 18th edition of the United States Golf Teachers Cup was somewhat of a repeat of the 17th edition: A golfer over 50 won for the second consecutive year, as did a golfer from Canada.
