STANFORD, Calif. – Stanford sophomore Andrea Lee was among eight players named Tuesday by the United States Golf Association to the USA Team for the 2018 Curtis Cup Match, to be conducted June 8-10 at Quaker Ridge Golf Club in Scarsdale, New York.
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 (GB&I). It consists of six foursomes (alternate-shot) matches, six four-ball matches and eight singles matches over three days of competition. The USGA's International Team Selection Committee selects the USA Team, while the Ladies' Golf Union selects the GB&I Team.
Lee, ranked fifth in the Women's World Amateur Golf Rankings, is one of two players named to the team for the second straight time. She was a member of the 2016 Curtis Cup Team that lost to GB&I, 11.5-8.5. Lee garnered several honors following her first season on The Farm, including Pac-12 Freshman of the Year, All-Pac-12 first team and Ping/Women's Golf Coaches Association Freshman of the Year. Lee claimed three individual wins.
Picking up where she left off, her sophomore season began with three individual collegiate victories in her first five starts. Lee was the runner-up in the 2016 U.S. Girls' Junior, and a semifinalist in the 2014 U.S. Women's Amateur. She has also won two SCGA Women's Amateur titles.
