Medina’s Melanie Green got off to a strong start for Team USA in Curtis Cup competition at Sunningdale, England this morning.
Playing in the tournament’s first match, Green and her partner Rachel Kuehn scored a 6 and 4 foursomes victory over the Great Britain/Ireland team sister duo of Patience and Mimo Rhodes.
Green and Kuehn jumped out to an early 3 up lead after just five holes to help Team USA take an early 2-1 lead in the competition.
This is the first Curtis Cup tournment for Green and the third for Kuehn. Earlier this summer Green also competed for Team USA in the Arnold Palmer Cup tournament in Ireland.
The tournament matches a team of 8 U.S. amateurs against 8 amateurs from Great Britain and Ireland with the competition continuing on Saturday and Sunday.
