Oklahoma's Quade Cummins was 'in shock' over Walker Cup selection Being on the Sooners' national championship team in 2017 "gave us the taste of the good stuff" Author: When Oklahoma senior Quade Cummins learned he was the first Sooner in 16 years to make the Walker Cup team, he actually had to tap the brakes emotionally. He said shortly after OU finished a disappointing third at the Seminole Intercollegiate in Tallahassee, FL, in mid-February, he learned he had missed a call from USGA president Stu Francis. “I called him back when I was finished signing my scorecard and stuff like that,” Cummins said during a video press conference Tuesday. “He said, ‘Congratulations, you're going to represent the United States at the Walker Cup.’ Immediately I was in shock.
