Brooke Pancake Named To 2012 USA Curtis Cup Team
Far Hills, N.J. - The United States Golf Association today announced the selection of five players to represent the USA in the 2012 Curtis Cup Match, to be conducted June 8-10 at The Nairn Golf Club in Scotland.
The players are: Amy Anderson, 19, of Oxbow, N.D.; Lindy Duncan, 20, of Fort Lauderdale, Fla.; Austin Ernst, 19, of Seneca, S.C.; Tiffany Lua, 20, of Rowland Heights, Calif.; and Brooke Pancake, 21, of Chattanooga, Tenn.
Three additional players will be named to complete the eight-member Team in January.
The Curtis Cup Match is a biennial international women's amateur golf competition between eight-player teams from the United States of America and Great Britain and Ireland. The USA won the 2010 Match at Essex County Club in Manchester-by-the-Sea, Mass., 12.5-7.5.
"I am thrilled that these five outstanding young women will be members of the 2012 Curtis Cup Team," said USA Team Captain Patricia Cornett, M.D. "I had the great pleasure of watching these players over the past year and am confident they will represent the USA in exemplary fashion. I congratulate each on this wonderful and well-deserved honor."
Pancake, a senior at the University of Alabama, advanced to the semifinals of the 2011 U.S. Women's Amateur and is a three-time NGCA All-American Scholar.
The Curtis Cup Match consists of six foursomes (alternate-shot) matches, six four-ball matches and eight singles matches over three days of competition. The USA Team has won the last seven Matches and leads the series, 27-6-3.
Brooke, we sure are proud of you!
