Five Questions
Peter McEvoy
Walker Cup captain
Great Britain and Ireland

Peter McEvoy, 48, captained the Great Britain and Ireland Walker Cup team into history with a 15-9 win over the United States last weekend at Sea Island, Ga. McEvoy's squad became the first GB&I team to successfully retain possession of the International Challenge Trophy. McEvoy, of Copt Heath, England, and a five-time Walker Cup player, also became the first GB&I captain to win two matches, the first coming with a 15-9 win over the U.S. in 1999 at Nairn, Scotland.

   Q: I wonder if maybe you could put into words maybe just a little bit of what you said at the closing ceremonies about your team and what this means to you?
   A: Well, I do think it is the best team that's ever represented Great Britain and Ireland. I did say before we left Britain that there had never been so accomplished a side gathered together leaving our shores, particularly in terms of their international experience and their international success. I think they proved everything that I thought. I was very bullish before Nairn and I tried to play that down a little bit this time because I thought it was inappropriate when we were playing away and probably not quite -- not quite so true, but I think the team probably this team was better. But the challenge was much greater, and to win by the same margin that we won by in Nairn is a greater achievement. Personally, I think -- it's different when you are captain than when you are a player. You can't compare the two things. Certainly, I can't remember a prouder moment.

   Q.: You've said you are not going to captain again. Could anything make you come back for a third time, and if not, why not?
   A.: I just think it's convention. I think you get one at home and one away and that's it. So I'm yesterday's man.

   Q.: If they asked you, would you consider it?
   A.: No, because if I say yes, then it would be portrayed as trying to push for it. I just think it's without precedence, so I'm not sure it's something that will be even introduced, really.

   Q.: You mentioned earlier in the week about the possible shifting of dominance over to your side in these matches. Has it happened now?
   A.: I don't think there's a shift in dominance by any means. I think we are now competitive, but that was -- that was a very good American team, I thought. I think there will be a lot of players come out of that team who have, you know, exceptionally successful professional careers. I think we just played better golf on the day. I think we were very close as a team, and that's just -- that's not something that you can force or something you can do anything necessarily to achieve or to attain. Again, with another ten people, maybe it wouldn't be the same, but I thought the way we performed as a unit was the difference, really, between ourselves and maybe teams that have come before.

   Q.: A lot of the conventional wisdom in the past has always indicated GB&I is very good in foursomes and the U.S. better in singles. In each of the last two Walker Cups on Sunday, the U.S. has only won one singles match. Is that conventional wisdom misguided or how would you pinpoint the reason for this kind of effort?
   A.: The reason is because our players are better. Now we match the United States players' standard, and actually, right at the moment now I would say maybe at the top end of our list, we are better. I think it is as simple as that. You know, it's a talent thing. It is a talent thing and it is cyclical. We are much better at preparing our players now. At the moment, we just happen to have a thick stream of talent. You know, people get encouraged by that and follow in the wake.
