\u201cI’m just thrilled, thrilled with the result,” said Captain Elaine Ratcliffe. “Thrilled that they have played the golf that I know they can play. I loved the fact that they have had such a great time doing it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cYou don’t win the Curtis Cup on day one. We have got to continue that golf and continue that momentum because for sure the American team will come back.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
