The Atlantic twang of Angus Flanagan’s voice gives his circumstances away, although Alex Fitzpatrick’s brogue remains rooted in Yorkshire. “Oh my…his is so bad, such a bad accent,” Fitzpatrick says. “We give him a good old roasting, we’re trying to kick him back into shape.”Flanagan, 21, and Fitzpatrick, 22, represent Great Britain and Ireland in the Walker Cup this weekend but they are familiar with the venue — Seminole Golf Club in Florida — and much of their American opposition. Of the ten amateur golfers representing these isles, seven have experienced university life in the United States. SponsoredFitzpatrick is joined by Flanagan (Minnesota), Barclay Brown (Stanford), Jack Dyer (California State, Fullerton), Matty Lamb (UNC Charlotte), John Murphy (Louisville) and Mark Power (Wake Forest).
