Curtis Cup

Everyone who's played in World Cup says it's such a special environment.

And same if you play in a Ryder Cup or a Curtis Cup or a Solheim.

But to come away with what happened at La Hinge...

there must be like a bond now amongst the team yourself your support team that's a bit like you know that scene in oceans 11 where they're sort of like leaning you know what i mean there's that bit of thing of like watching

and i lived i lived up the road at wentworth when i was aware of what i was doing i was taught by tom halliburton i was taught by arthur lee's here but if you were a serious golfer and the more serious i became and the better i became you played golf at sunningdale

it's interesting your parents is is definitely something i'd like to touch upon your your mother diana fishwick was instrumental in the women's game played in the curtis cup first curtis cup i believe

I don't know whether it was the first year.

She played a couple of them.

Down in the second tier of the women's game, Lorna McClymont missed out on a maiden victory on the Ladies European Tour Access Series after the kind of grisly finale that used to be the reserve of the old Hammer horror films.

Leading the Theré Blanche Ladies Open in Switzerland, By two shots, standing on the 18th tee of the closing round, McClymont, the former Curtis Cup player, crashed to a shattering nine and slithered back into a sheer of third.

It was a costly calamity, particularly at this level, where the rewards are modest, but the outgoings remain eye-wateringly steep.

The first prize was around £6,000.

Mm-hmm.

The Curtis Cup was held here in '60.

Mm-hmm.

Um, that should never be forgotten about.

I mean, she's everywhere, but she manages it so well.

It's going to be kind of a challenge because you would imagine that she's going to be picked for she'll be a Curtis Cup captain someday.

I would imagine and Curtis Cup will be covered on TV.

So I don't know how she's going to pull that one off, but she'll probably figure it out somehow.

When she decided to not turn professional, I know that your goal is to play professionally in the LPGA Tour, but did that give you, not pause, but did you pay attention maybe to her thought process and maybe just take something from that? Not saying it obviously hadn't convinced you to, you have your own goals, she has her goals, but it's probably interesting to be just kind of within the bubble to see that thought process take shape.

That's the Solheim-Walker Cup, Ryder Cup from last year, and the PGA Cup now just the Curtis Cup players there and the girls that was there.

And the internationals.

And the...

USA Today National High School Golfer of the Year twice, in 2017 and '18.

Multiple team events: Junior Ryder Cup, Junior Solheim Cup, Curtis Cup.

Nine collegiate wins in college at Stanford, six of which came in your freshman season, when you had a 69.72 scoring average, the lowest in NCAA history at the time.

I think Rose Zhang might have broken that, but keep me honest there.

The, the, and the PGA Cup.

Just Britain and Ireland just won the PGA Cup yesterday, so the only one's the Curtis Cup that America don't, uh, that Europe or-

Yeah
