This Day in Golf History: May 21

The inaugural Curtis Cup Match—the women’s amateur event pitting teams from the U.S. and Great Britain against each other—was just a one-day event, held on May 21, 1932, at Wentworth Golf Club in England, as opposed to the two-day version used presently. The format in 1932 was three foursomes and six singles matches. The Americans won, 5½ to 3½. The 2019 U.S. Open champion Gary Woodland, who continues to recover from brain surgery but is back out playing, was born on this date in 1984 in Topeka, Kansas.
