Notes: Team USA built a big lead on Day 1 of the 2000 Curtis Cup, then needed that cushion on Day 2. USA led 7-2 after Day 1, but Team GB&I rallied to win the second day 6-3, which resulted in the USA's final 2-point margin of victory.
Two U.S. teammates later faced off (along with a third golfer) in a U.S. Women's Open playoff. Hilary Homeyer, later known by her married name, Hilary Lunke, defeated Angela Stanford (and Kelly Robbins) in an 18-hole playoff to win the 2003 U.S. Women's Open.
Homeyer went 3-1-0 for USA (Stanford was 1-3-0), while Suzanne O'Brien was 3-1-0 for GB&I.
