Majestic Meadow inspires Curtis Cup victory

Stephanie Meadow was the heroine as Great Britain and Ireland regained the Curtis Cup — 16 years after last winning it at Killarney.

The 20-year-old Alabama University student from Royal Portrush clinched the crucial singles point that gave the hosts a dramatic 10½ to 9½ victory at Nairn in Scotland.

After losing all three foursomes on Friday morning things looked bleak for the hosts but Great Britain and Ireland stuck to their task and went into the final day of singles one point adrift (6½ to 5½).
