The 42nd Curtis Cup is set to take place June 10-12 at Merion Golf Club in Ardmore, Pennsylvania. With the event taking place in back-to-back years due to the global pandemic, fans will see many of the same faces from last year’s contest in Wales, where Team USA roared back to defeat Great Britain and Ireland, 12½-7½.
Sarah LeBrun Ingram will once again lead the Americans. The three-time U.S. Women’s Mid-Amateur champion and Duke standout competed in three Curtis Cup Matches. She finished runner-up to Jill McGill in the 1993 U.S. Women’s Amateur at San Diego Country Club.
England’s Elaine Ratcliffe returns as captain of the GB&I squad.
The schedule for both Friday and Saturday will consist of three morning four-ball matches and three afternoon foursomes (alternate-shot) matches. On Sunday, there will be eight singles matches.
Merion Golf Club holds the record for the most USGA championships hosted by a club (19). The first U.S. Women’s Amateur was held there in 1904.
