Mid–Am champion and Curtis Cup selection Meghan Bolger, pictured left in action earlier today, and her partner Jill Hardy defeated two of the game’s legends, Carole Thompson (skipper of the US team for St Andrews at the end of May) and Marlene Streit by 3 and 2.
In the last match Taffy Brower and Ann Pohira came from behind to edge out Barbara Pagana and Bonnie George by 2 and 1.
