United States wins the Curtis Cup | |||||
The 32nd Curtis Cup Match was played on August 3 and 4, 2002 at Fox Chapel Golf Club near Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. The United States won 11 to 7.[1] Carol Semple Thompson made her 12th and final appearance, having first played in 1974.
Format
The contest was a two-day competition, with three foursomes and six singles matches on each day, a total of 18 points.
Each of the 18 matches was worth one point in the larger team competition. If a match was all square after the 18th hole extra holes were not played. Rather, each side earned 1⁄2 a point toward their team total. The team that accumulated at least 91⁄2 points won the competition. In the event of a tie, the current holder retained the Cup.
Teams
Eight players for the USA and Great Britain & Ireland participated in the event plus one non-playing captain for each team.[2]
