SIX NEW CURTIS CUP CAPS IN GB and I TEAM FOR 2014 MATCH AT ST LOUIS, MISSOURI
There are six newcomers to the Great Britain & Ireland Curtis Cup line-up for the 38th transatlantic international contest against the United States at St Louis Country Club, Missouri from June 6 to 8, 2014.
Only two of the winning team at Nairn in June 2012. Stephanie Meadow and Bronte Law, both students at United States colleges, are in the eight-strong line-up this time round.
For Annabel Dimmock, Georgia Hall, Gabriella Cowley, Charlotte Thomas, Eilidh Briggs and Gemma Dryburgh, it will be a completely new experience.
For the first time in the long history of this biennial match, first played at Wentworth in 1932, the GB & I team has been partially chosen through the World Amateur Golf Ranking TM and the LGU Order of Merit.
Dimmock, Hall, Law and Meadow are the leading four eligible players in the WAGRTM and
Briggs and Cowley are selected via the LGU Order of Merit table.
The LGU Selection Panel's two choices of Dryburgh and Thomas complete the team of eight.
The team will again be captained by Tegwen Matthews who said “I am thrilled and excited with this team and genuinely believe it has the perfect mix to retain the Curtis Cup. Each and every member of this team has fought hard for their place and I know they all have the desire, talent and passion to bring the cup back home.”
