This Day in Golf History: June 7

It took seven tries for the British side to win its first Curtis Cup Match but it finally broke through in 1952. It took place at Muirfield, Scotland, which only just in the spring of 2017 voted to allow women to become members. The final day was June 7, 1952, and it came down to the final match, where Brit Elizabeth Price beat Grace DeMoss, 3 and 2, to give the British Isles a 5-4 victory. Also on this date, in 1900, the Open Championship was completed at the Old Course in St. Andrews, won by J.H. Taylor by eight strokes over Harry Vardon. It was Taylor’s third of five Open victories.
