Lexington native Lauren Stephenson helped the United States post a resounding win at the 2018 Curtis Cup at Quaker Ridge Golf Club in Scarsdale, N.Y.

Stephenson and Crimson Tide teammate Kristen Gill-man were part of an 8-0 sweep in Sunday’s singles matches which helped the United State take a 17-3 win over Great Britain and Ireland.

The win was the largest margin of victory in the history of the series, which began in 1932.

Gillman recorded a 5-and-4 win over GB&I’s Annabell Fuller while Stephenson took a 2-and-1 decision against Shannon McWilliam. The wins capped off a three-day run that saw the Alabama All-Americans have a hand in securing six-and-a-half of the 17 points scored by the United States in the match.

“It was an honor to watch Kristen and Lauren perform on amateur golf’s biggest stage this week,” Alabama head coach Mic Potter said following the match. “Not only did the play dominating golf, but the way that they engaged the community, fans, and especially the young children, was a pleasure to watch.”

With the victory, the United States improved to 29-8-3 against Great Britain & Ireland in the biennial series that dates back to 1932.

The Curtis Cup was the first of two national team appearances for Gillman and Stephenson this summer. They will also be members of the U.S. team that will compete in the 2018 Palmer Cup, July 6-8 in Evain-les Bains, France.

The Palmer Cup squad is a combined men’s and women’s collegiate team and will also include UA men’s golfer Davis Riley. Alabama women’s assistant coach Susan Rosenstiel is serving as a member of the Palmer Cup coaching staff.

The United States Palmer Cup team will be facing a combined men’s and women’s world team.

Stephenson is one of four finalists for the 2018 Honda Sport Award for Golf, presented annually by the Collegiate Women’s Sports Awards (CWSA) to the top female in 12 NCAA-sanctioned sports.

The award will be presented June 25 in Los Angeles, Calif.
