Nigel Edwards has been appointed captain of the Great Britain and Ireland Walker Cup team to face the United States at Royal Aberdeen in 2011.
Edwards played in four successive Walker Cup matches between 2001 and 2007, winning four matches, losing five and halving three.
"I am delighted to have been invited to be the next Great Britain and Ireland Walker Cup captain," Edwards said.
"It is a great honour for me, my family and for Welsh golf, and I look forward to the challenges that lie ahead.
"The goal is to win back the Walker Cup at Royal Aberdeen and I will lead the team with great pride and enthusiasm.
"I will put all of my Walker Cup experience to good use in ensuring that the team selected prepares well and performs to the very best of its ability."
Edwards was instrumental in GB&I's 2003 triumph at Ganton, holing a 30-yard putt from off the green at the 17th to ensure overall victory and finishing as leading points scorer.
