CURTIS CUP QUOTES

After she had holed the par putt to halve the final morning foursome.

What was going through my mind?
I was just thinking ‘In the hole …. I lined up the putt and just hit it … don’t look up, just wait for the sound of the ball dropping.
It was downhill and the line was just slightly inside the right edge of the cup.
Yes, that was probably the greatest putt I’ve holed in my life so far! In front of all those people, certainly.
Yes, it was me that drove oiut of bounds at the 17th. Apparently it hit the roof. I didn’t see it. Pretty terrible shot.
We were one up after 10 and then two down after 13.

PLAYING PARTNER JODI EWART
When we slipped to two down, we told each other going down the 14th that we had to keep our heads up. We just couldn’t let them go down. Keep playing and let them make the mistakes … and that’s exactly what happened.

The 14th was the key. We were both in the same spot, short of the par-5 green, for two and we realised that we could not fly it on to the green and land it in that area. And we knew with a chip and run we couldn’t go for the pin. So we just played it for the level, 10 yards right and Jodi hit the perfect five-iron chip and run.
They tried to fly it, went down the back, went too far (GB&I won the hole with a par 5 to get back to one down).
We were solid parring and they were making mistakes.
The Americans three-putted the 15th and we were back to all square and then we went one up again by winning the 16th with another par.
After I messed it up with my drive at the 17th, I knew I had to do something good to make up for it.
