Sara Byrne of Ireland holed a 35-foot birdie putt and followed by chipping in from just off the 17th green for a 2-and-1 victory in fourballs, capping an opening day of constant changes in the Curtis Cup that fittingly ended in a tie at 3. Great Britain and Ireland trailed 3-1 at one point before Byrne and top-ranked amateur Lottie Woad won on the 17th, while Hannah Darling and Aine Donegan held off Auburn teammates Anna Davis and Megan Schofill on the 18th hole. The Americans had a 2-1 lead after foursomes in the morning at Sunningdale behind Melanie Green and Rachel Kuehn beating sisters Patience and Mimi Rhodes, 6 and 4, and the other two matches ending in halves.
