2024 Curtis Cup: Scores and Pairings
The 2024 Curtis Cup Match is the 43rd time this tournament is being played. The Curtis Cup is a team, match-play tournament contested by two squads of amateur women golfers, one representing the United States (USA), one representing Great Britain & Ireland (GB&I). The Curtis Cup is played every other year in even-numbered years. It was first played in 1932. The tournament is jointly run by the USGA and R&A. Team USA leads Team GB&I in the all-time standings with 31 wins to 9 (there have been three ties).
Final score: Great Britain & Ireland 10.5, United States 9.5 (match results below)
Dates played: August 30-September 1, 2024
Location: Sunningdale Golf Club in Berkshire, England
Team captains: Meghan Stasi for Team USA; Catriona Matthew for GB&I
Team Rosters:
- Team USA — Zoe Campos, Anna Davis, Melanie Green, Jasmine Koo, Rachel Kuehn, Catherine Park, Megan Schofill, Asterisk Talley
- Team GB&I — Sara Byrne, Beth Coulter, Hannah Darling, Aine Donegan, Lorna McClymont, Euphemie (Mimi) Rhodes, Patience Rhodes, Lottie Woad
Notes: Team GB&I notched its first Curtis Cup victory since 2016 with the narrow, 1-point edge. With three matches still on the course in the final singles session, Team USA needed to earn two points to retain the Cup and Team GB&I needed 1½ points to win the Cup. GB&I got one of those points when Lorna McClymont finished off a 3-and-2 win over Megan Schofill.
GB&I's Mimi Rhodes led USA's Melanie Green, 1-up, after 16 holes. And if Rhodes at least halved the 17th hole of her match she would clinch it for GB&I. But Rhodes' drive headed into the trees left of the fairway on the par-5, and she had to punch out to get back into the fairway. Ultimately she faced a 15-foot par putt to halve the hole and go dormie. Rhodes made that putt, and guaranteed GB&I the clinching half-point it needed.
Mimi Rhodes and Patience Rhodes, sisters from England, became just the second pair of sisters to both play in the Curtis Cup, joining the Irish Maguire twins. ... Rachel Kuehn went 2-0-2 for Team USA, improving her career record over three Cups to 9-2-2, worth 10 points. That was good enough for a spot on the list of golfers with the most career Curtis Cup points.
