The Curtis Cup saw Great Britain and Ireland stage a dramatic comeback on day one, ending the first day on level terms with the United States thanks to a stellar performance by Sara Byrne. Partnering with England’s Lottie Woad in the final fourball match, Byrne delivered two crucial birdies on the 16th and 17th holes, securing a 2&1 victory over Catherine Park and Zoe Campos. This win, combined with an earlier victory by Aine Donegan and Hannah Darling, put the home team back in the game after the USA had taken a 2-1 lead following the morning foursomes. The visitors, aiming for their fourth consecutive Curtis Cup win, now face a tense day two with the score locked at 3-3. Byrne, clearly ecstatic with her performance, expressed her joy and attributed her success to consistent chipping and putting throughout the day. The first day of the Curtis Cup showcased thrilling competition from both sides, with several close matches, dramatic finishes, and impressive individual performances.
