Great Britain and Ireland won the Curtis Cup for the first time since 2016 after a thrilling triumph over the United States at Sunningdale.

Singles victories for Cork's Sara Byrne along with Patience Rhodes and Lorna McClymont took the home side to the verge of a famous win before Mimi Rhodes saved par on the 17th to guarantee a decisive half point against Melanie Green.
