Foresight Ambassadors Shine at Cypress Point Walker Cup
Sep 17, 2025
The Walker Cup has always been about the players – the best amateurs in the world squaring off for their countries. Team USA’s 2025 victory at Cypress Point was a testament to both talent and preparation. Five Foresight Sports ambassadors were part of the 10-man roster, and together they delivered 9.5 of the team’s 17 total points.
Adjusting to Coastal Conditions
Anyone who has teed it up on the Monterey Peninsula knows the air is heavy and unforgiving. Shots often fly 10-15 yards shorter than usual, forcing you to rethink club selection across the bag. By Sunday’s closing session, fog rolled in over the Pacific and the challenge deepened.
That’s where reliable preparation paid off. The GCQuad and QuadMAX helped players dial in how far their shots would carry in the coastal conditions – turning uncertainty into confidence as team-member Preston Stout explained.
“The Quad has helped me tremendously in preparing to go compete in different climates and venues. It makes it very easy for me to dial in my numbers when I arrive at different tournaments around the world. The Quad has made my practice much more efficient, making getting numbers and staying dialed in very easy and accessible.”
Stout also credited the competitive grind of college golf for preparing him to thrive at Cypress Point:
“Playing on a team and competing in college events prepared me for the Walker Cup because I get to play against some of the best players in the world every day at home in practice and when we’re on the road competing,” he said. “We play a very strong schedule at Oklahoma State, and that has given me the confidence that I can beat anybody I tee it up against.”
The Ambassadors Who Delivered
That confidence was evident, as the quality of this U.S. team was undeniable – and the Foresight ambassadors were right at the heart of it:
-
Jackson Koivun – Auburn, WAGR No. 1, NCAA Team Champion (3.0 points)
-
Michael La Sasso – Ole Miss, WAGR No. 9, NCAA Individual Champion (1.0 point)
-
Preston Stout – Oklahoma State, WAGR No. 5 (2.0 points)
-
Ben James – Univ. of Virginia, WAGR No. 2 (1.0 point)
-
Mason Howell – Georgia high school senior, WAGR No. 143, 2025 U.S. Amateur Champion (2.5 points)
Led by Koivun and Howell, this group combined for more than half of Team USA’s winning total.
Howell’s performance also spotlighted the value of Foresight’s UpNext Junior Program, an initiative that helped him climb the amateur ranks. Designed to break down the cost barrier of launch monitors and simulators, the program offers qualifying juniors up to 50% off GC3 and GCQuad models, plus exclusive access to development webinars led by top players and coaches. Programs like these ensure promising juniors have access to the same training tools as the game’s best.
Trusted Along the Journey
For these players, the GCQuad is a trusted part of the process. Whether recalibrating yardages in the heavy air at Cypress Point or preparing for the next tournament on the schedule, Foresight Sports technology gives them accurate, actionable data they can rely on.
At the 50th Walker Cup, it was the players who shined. But behind their preparation was the same tool trusted by the game’s elite – delivering the confidence that comes from measuring what matters and taking it to the course.
