“I’m really glad they’ve kept the baskets. It’s just really cool,” U.S. team member Rachel Kuehn said of the iconic wicker basket flagsticks at Merion Golf Club.
A visit to Merion Golf Club can be sensory overload for many — the well-manicured fairways and greens, the treacherous bunkers with their dunes grass and Scottish broom, the diabolical nature of the quarry hole at No. 16.
For teammate Megha Ganne, it was a surprise when she was asked to take the flagstick out during a practice round. The United States won the most recent Curtis Cup, 12.5-7.5, last year at Conwy, Wales, a competition that was delayed one year because of the pandemic. Eleven players from those matches — six from GB&I, five from the U.S. — are back playing this year.
