Curtis Cup Pairings

Here are the pairings for the morning session at the Curtis Cup on Friday:

Elizabeth Bennett/Jodi Ewart, Great Britain & Ireland, vs. Stacy Lewis/Alison Walshe, United States
Sally Watson/Michele Thomson, Great Britain & Ireland, vs. Mina Harigae/Jennie Lee, United States
Breanne Loucks/Florentyna Parker, Great Britain & Ireland, vs. Amanda Blumenherst/Tiffany Joh, United States

These are foursomes (alternate shot); an afternoon session will feature three fourballs (better ball).

No surprise that U.S. captain Carol Semple Thompson partnered the T-Joh with Blumenherst, or that that pairing has the anchor spot for the Americans.

Blumenherst and Joh partnered one another several times in AJGA tournaments, and also at last year's Spirit International.

Update: Lewis/Walshe def. Ewart/Bennett, 3 and 1; Watson/Thomson def. Lee/Harigae, 1-up; Blumenherst/Joh def. Loucks/Parker, 1-up.

The afternoon fourballs:

Carly Booth/Michele Thomson, GB&I, vs. Kimberly Kim/Mina Harigae, U.S.
Sally Watson/Krystle Caithness, GB&I, vs. Tiffany Joh/Meghan Bolger, U.S.
Florentyna Parker/Elizabeth Bennett, GB&I, vs. Amanda Blumenherst/Stacy Lewis, U.S.

USA 1...and they haven't even started

what a powerhouse pairing of Blumenhurst and Joh !

My suggestion ? have a film crew follow them around, then send it to TIger Woods and Phil Mickelson as a tutorial on how top golfers CAN play together and beat the daylights out of their opponents in match play.

"this ball will fit in that fairway"
