2022 Curtis Cup Winner and Match Scores

The 2022 Curtis Cup was the 42nd time this international, amateur team competition was played. A team of women amateurs representing Great Britain & Ireland plays a team of women amateurs representing the United States every two years in the Curtis Cup. The event is jointly run by the USGA and R&A. The all-time standings after the American sides' victory in 22 was 31 wins for Team USA, 8 wins for Team GB&I, plus three ties.

Final Score: United States 15.5, Great Britain & Ireland 4.5

Dates Played: June 10-12, 2022

Location: Merion Golf Club in Ardmore, Pennsylvania

Team Captains: Elaine Ratcliffe for GB&I, Sarah LeBrun Ingram for the USA

Team Rosters:

  • Team GB&I: Hannah Darling, Louise Duncan, Annabell Fuller, Charlotte Heath, Calen McGinty, Emily Price, Lauren Walsh, Amelia Williamson
  • Team USA: Jensen Castle, Rachel Heck, Rachel Kuehn, Rose Zhang, Amari Avery, Megha Ganne, Emilia Migliaccio, Latanna Stone
Notes: It was a runaway win for the United States in the 2022 Curtis Cup, as the Americans limited Team GB&I to under three points on each of the three days of the tournament, and to just one point on two of them. The final score of 15.5 to 4.5 was the second-biggest win/second-worst loss in the tournament's history, dating to 1932. Only the USA's 17-3 win in the 2018 Curtis Cup surpassed it.

Team USA won the tournament's opening fourball session, 2 to 1, then swept the Day 1 afternoon foursomes, 3-0. And the Americans closed with a 7-1 edge in final-day singles play. Any chance of a GB&I comeback probably died with the outcome of the third fourball match of the Day 2 morning session, Charlotte Heath/Louise Duncan, GB&I, vs. Emilia Migliaccio/Latanna Stone, USA. Heath/Duncan led, 2-up, with three holes to play. But Migliaccio/Stone then won the remaining three holes to win the match, 1-up. That gave the United States a 7-2 lead to that point.
