US, Aug 19: Bill Haas, son of PGA Tour veteran Jay, and Trip Kuehne are among eight amateurs selected for the US Walker Cup team. The Walker Cup, the amateur version of the Ryder Cup, will be played from 6-7 September at Ganton Golf Club in England. Kuehne, who lost in the 1994 US Amateur finals to 18-year-old Tiger Woods, will be the only American with Walker Cup experience. His previous appearance came in 1995, and this year he tied for 57th in the US Open. They will be joined by Matt Hendrix, Brock Mackenzie, Ryan Moore, Chris Nallen, Adam Rubinson and Casey Wittenberg.

Britain & Ireland won 15-9 two years ago at Sea Island, Georgia.
