ARDMORE, PA. — It looked like Great Britain and Ireland might finally get the session they needed at the 42nd Curtis Cup. Captain Elaine Ratcliffe’s squad was 4 up in two matches and 2 up in a third in afternoon foursomes.
But it didn’t last.
The visiting team lost momentum down the stretch at Merion as the Americans ended Saturday with a commanding 8½ to 3½ lead. Team USA only needs 10 points to retain the Cup. GB&I hasn’t won on U.S. soil since 1994 at The Honors Course in Chattanooga, Tennessee.
