How to watch the 42nd Curtis Cup at Merion; Friday four-ball lineups

Last year, Team USA rallied back from an early deficit to defeat Great Britain and Ireland, 12½-7½.

The 42nd Curtis Cup gets underway Friday morning at 7 a.m. at Merion Golf Club with the first four-ball session. This marks the second time the biennial match has been hosted at the historic club, with the first in 1954.

Two Curtis Cups are being held within a 10-month span due to the 2020 contest in Wales being postponed due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Both captains return for a second stint along with five repeat Americans and six returning GB&I players.
