Curtis Cup, Day 1: U.S. 4, GB&I 2

The United States won both sessions 2-1 on the first day of play at the Curtis Cup on Friday, taking a 4-2 lead at The Old Course at St. Andrews. Here are how the ties went:

Foursomes

  • Stacy Lewis/Alison Walshe, U.S., def. Elizabeth Bennett/Jodi Ewart, GB&I, 3 and 1
  • Michele Thomson/Sally Watson, GB&I, def. Jennie Lee/Mina Harigae, U.S., 1-up
  • Amanda Blumenherst/Tiffay Joh, U.S., def. Breanna Loucks/Florentyna Parker, GB&I, 1-up

Four-balls

  • Kimberly Kim/Mina Harigae, U.S., def. Carly Booth/Michelle Thomson, GB&I, 3 and 2
  • Sally Watson/Krystle Caithness, GB&I, def. Tiffany Joh/Meghan Bolger, U.S., 3 and 2
  • Amanda Blumenherst/Stacy Lewis, U.S., def. Florentyna Parker/Elizabeth Bennett, GB&I, 3 and 1

And here are the pairings for the morning foursomes on Saturday:

  • Carly Booth/Breanne Loucks, GB&I, vs. Kimberly Kim/Jennie Lee, U.S.
  • Michele Thomson/Sally Watson, GB&I, vs. Alison Walshe/Stacy Lewis, U.S.
  • Elizabeth Bennett/Jodi Ewart, GB&I, vs. Amanda Blumenherst/Tiffany Joh

A good first day, I think. The Americans proved they aren't bothered by the requirements of links golf (or by the fickle Scottish weather). The underdog GB&I team kept itself in the match and may have gained some confidence from how close many of the matches were.

I'll post a link to the Sky Sports recap of the day's play as soon as the put the video online.
