| With first-time players accounting for 6 ½ points, the United States Team scored a 10 ½- 7 ½ victory at the Royal Porthcawl Golf Club, Porthcawl, South Wales. The competition was extremely close throughout. After the morning foursomes on the first day, the British led 2-1. The United States drew even at 4 ½ each by winning three and halving one of the afternoon singles matches.
On the final day, the foursomes were divided, and after the first three singles matches each team had 7 ½ points. The United States rookies, Misses Peggy Conley, Barbara Fay White, and Carol Sorenson, provided the winning points in the last three singles matches. Miss Conley, at 17 the youngest player ever to compete for the United States in the Curtis Cup Match, won both her singles; she did not compete in the foursomes. Miss JoAnne Gunderson, of the United States, and Mrs. Marley Spearman, of the British Isles, played a memorable match on the final afternoon; it was halved with each player scoring 71, two under par. The day before, Miss Gunderson was four under par in her singles victory over Mrs. Angela Ward Bonallack. The non- playing Captains were Mrs. Theodore W. Hawes for the United States and Miss Elsie Corlett for the British Isles. |
