CURTIS CUP SUNDAY UPDATE

UNITED STATES HEADING FOR CURTIS CUP
VICTORY AS GB&I RESISTANCE CRUMBLES

The United States were heading for their 26th Curtis Cup victory in
cold, damp and windy conditions for the third and final day of the
women's biennial amateur international golf contest over the Old
Course, St Andrews.
GB&I have not won a Curtis Cup match since Killarney in 1996.
The United States started the final day in this the first-ever
three-day programme with a 3pt lead (7 1/2-4 1/2).
They soon took command of most of the eight closing singles ties.
Carly Booth, the 15 year old from Comrie, Perthshire was the first home
player to be counted out. She crashed by 6 and 5 to Tiffany Joh.
Then former Welsh champion Breanne Loucks from Wrexham, winner of her
three Curtis Cup ties two years ago at Bandon Dunes, was beaten 3 and 1
in the lead-off singles by Kimberley Kim, only 16 years old but a
former US women's amateur champion.
