The Van Alen Cup was held on July 6 and 7 at The Queen’s Club in London. A biennial event between the US and the UK, the tournament features top players under the age of 25 for two days of match play. Representing the US were Pat Winthrop (Captain), Dylan Ward, Clayton Vaughters, Zach Sacks and Amanda Avedissian. Although they put up a good effort, the UK proved to be too strong, fielding a team ranging from +0.3 to 13.1. Tough!
