| United States wins the Curtis Cup | |||||
The 38th Curtis Cup Match was played from June 6 to 8, 2014 at St. Louis Country Club in Ladue, Missouri. The United States won 13 to 7.[1]
Format
The contest was a three-day competition, with three fourball and three foursomes matches on each of the first two days, and eight singles matches on the final day, a total of 20 points.
Each of the 20 matches is worth one point in the larger team competition. If a match is all square after the 18th hole extra holes are not played. Rather, each side earns 1⁄2 a point toward their team total. The team that accumulates at least 101⁄2 points wins the competition. In the event of a tie, the current holder retains the Cup.
Teams
Eight players for the USA and Great Britain & Ireland participated in the event plus one non-playing captain for each team.
The American team was selected by the USGA’s International Team Selection Committee.[2]
