U.S. Wraps Up Curtis Cup Win
The final score is 13 to 7. Here are the Sunday singles results:
- Kimberly Kim, U.S., def. Breanne Loucks, GB&I, 3 and 1
- Amanda Blumenherst, U.S., def. Jodi Ewart, GB&I, 2 and 1
- Stacy Lewis, U.S., def. Elizabeth Bennett, GB&I, 3 and 2
- Tiffany Joh, U.S., def. Carly Booth, GB&I, 6 and 5
- Michele Thomson, GB&I, halved with Jennie Lee, U.S.
- Florentyna Parker, GB&I, def. Meghan Bolger, U.S., 6 and 4
- Krystle Caithness, GB&I, def. Mina Harigae, U.S., 2 and 1
- Alison Walshe, U.S., def. Sally Watson, GB&I, 1-up
How about the T-Joh crushing the hopes and dreams of 15-year-old Scot Carly Booth? Six and five. Tiffany has a history of beating up on kids. I believe 6 and 5 is the same score by which she trounced Kimberly Kim, then 14, in the finals of the 2006 USWAPL.
But it's not about winning and losing, it's about the spirit of the game. Yes, I say that with a straight face. The Curtis Cup and the Walker Cup are two events where that spirit continues strong. I hope the GB&I team isn't taking the outcome too hard; this is something all the players involved in it will remember forever. And Great Britain & Ireland have simply run up against some of the best U.S. teams in the history of the competition over the past 10 or 12 years.

T-Joh had better watch out—hear the EU’s laws are much stricter than ours.
BTW, you see that Jane Park is suddenly in contention at the Ginn Tribute, thanks to Gustafson’s stumbles at the turn?
