Hartlage Selected to Curtis Cup Practice Session
January 04, 2021 | Women's Golf
LOUISVILLE, Ky. - University of Louisville senior women's golfer Lauren Hartlage is one of 12 players invited by the USGA's International Team Selection Committee to attend a practice session Jan. 29-30 at Lake Nona Golf & Country Club in Orlando, Fla., for the 41st Curtis Cup Match.
The following 12 players have accepted invitations to the practice session (with current college affiliation):
The native of Elizabethtown, Ky., was named a WGCA Honorable Mention All-American after setting a new school record for stroke average in a single season (71.53) and becoming the first Louisville golfer to average below par for the season. Five of her 17 collegiate rounds were in the 60s, while eight of her rounds were at par or better. She posted four top-10 finishes, including the Cardinal Cup where she tied her own school record by shooting a 7-under par 65 during the final round.
The 41st Curtis Cup Match was originally scheduled for June 12-14, 2020, at Conwy Golf Club in Caernarvonshire, Wales, before being postponed due to the COVID-19 pandemic. The Match will now be held at Conwy Golf Club on Aug. 26-28, 2021. Prior to the postponement, eight of the 12 invited players (listed in bold above) had attended a practice session in December 2019.
Invitation to the Curtis Cup practice session does not guarantee selection to the eight-player USA Team that will compete in August. Players not invited will also be considered for inclusion on the team. As of 2018, the USGA provides automatic selections to the reigning U.S. Women's Amateur champion, along with the McCormack Medal winner and the top three players in the Women's World Amateur Golf Ranking (date TBD), if eligible. The 2021 U.S. Women's Amateur Championship will be played Aug. 2-8 at Westchester Country Club in Rye, N.Y., with the recipient of the McCormack Medal being named shortly thereafter.
The Curtis Cup Match is contested by two teams of eight female amateur players, one from the United States of America and one from Great Britain and Ireland, which is composed of England, the Republic of Ireland, Northern Ireland, Scotland and Wales. The USGA's International Team Selection Committee selects the USA Team, while The R&A selects the GB&I Team.
