This Day in Golf History: June 7

The Curtis Cup, a match between American and Great Britain & Ireland women amateurs, ended on this date in the past. In 1952, at Muirfield in Scotland,  GB&I came out on top, 5-4. In 1980, at St. Pierre Golf & C.C. in Wales, it was the Americans emerging on top, 13-5. In that playing, the U.S. featured stars Patty Sheehan and Carol Semple. Also, on this date in 1900, the Open Championship ended at St. Andrews with J.H. Taylor of England winning for the third time, with Harry Vardon, for once, being totally dominated by finishing eight strokes back in second.
