Jensen Castle, Team USA Win Curtis Cup

CONWY, Wales – Jensen Castle's never-say-die attitude embodied Team USA's spirt this week as the Americans rallied from an early hole in the biennial international match vs. Great Britain and Ireland (GB&I) to win the 2021 Curtis Cup on Saturday.
 
Team USA trailed 4.5-1.5 after Thursday's opener but rallied over the next two days to defeat GB&I in Saturday's finale of singles matches. The Americans won with a score of 12.5-7.5 at Conwy Golf Club in North Wales.
 
Castle, a junior on the Kentucky women's golf team, played a central part in the comeback. She earned 1.5 points on Friday to even the match heading into Saturday and then rallied from 3 down with four holes to play to halve her singles battle and steal a key half point.
 
"It was awesome," Castle said of the comeback. "It was just a battle the whole time and I just kept trying. I was never out of it."
