Amy is doing a great job representing the US in Scotland. After one day, Amy's pairings have accounted for half of USA's points. It's currently 4-2 USA. USA has won the last seven contests.

I was wondering when this was. Thanks for the update. Pretty amazing accomplishment to be on this team. Amy gave up qualifying for the US Open to play in this. Hope the US can bring home the cup. Go Amy!

The United States extended their overnight lead to 6-3 by winning the Day 2 morning foursomes 2-1 in miserale wet conditions. Not so many spectators at The Nairn GC for the start of Day 2 in the 37th Curtis Cup but the weather is a lot worse than it was on Friday when 2,690 turned up. It's wet and it's miserably gloomy but at least the GB and I team tails are up after the late successes on Friday. However, the Americans increased their overnight 4-2 lead to 6-3 by winning the first two foursomes this morning when the standard of scoring suffered in the very wet conditions.

Amy Anderson - winning for the third time - and Tiffany Lua beat Pamela Pretswell and Charley Hull by 3 and 2 with roughly level par figures, which is very good scoring in the very wet conditions.

DAY 2 FOURSOMES Amy Anderson and Tiffany Lua (US) bt Pamela Pretswell and Charley Hull 3 and 2. The Americans were quickly into their stride, winning the first two holes with birdies 3 and 4. But Pretswell and Hull came back into the picture to square the match with birdies of their own at holes 5 and 7. Anderson and Lua pulled clear again but they needed only pars to win the eighth and ninth to be two up at the turn in roughly two-under-par figures to the GB and I's 37. Pretswell and Hull cut their deficit to one by winning the 10th with a par and halved the 11th and 12th in par-bogey figures. A bogey 5 in the awful wet weather was good enough for the Americans to go two up at the 13th After a half in bogey 4s at the short 13th, Anderson and Lua produced a birdie - a rare 2species in this weather - to win the par-4 15 and go dormie three. A half in par 4s at the 16th ended the match - a 3 and 2 win for Anderson and Lua who were roughly level or one par for the holes played, despite three bogeys in the unrelenting rain after the turn. Their back-to-back opening birdies were the difference between the teams in the final analysis

Another story -- Amy kinda seems to be a favorite of the reporters (I'm not surprised)...

USA lost to UK/Ireland by a point, 9.5 to 10.5. Only three US golfers won their singles matches and Amy wasn't one of them. The women Amy faced today(Stephanie Meadow) golfs for Alabama and is ranked 20th in the world for amateurs. (Amy is ranked 36th)

Still great job representing NDSU and the nation Amy and welcome home when you return.

Pretty good showing for Amy. I can't wait until we get to watch her on the LPGA Tour.
