USA Team finalized for 42nd Curtis Cup at Merion Golf Club

The USA Curtis Cup roster is officially set.

Rachel Heck, Rachel Kuehn, Rose Zhang, and Jensen Castle automatically qualified for the team. Heck and Kuehn earned their spots by their status of top-ranked Americans in the World Amateur Golf Ranking. Zhang made the squad after she was awarded the 2021 McCormack Medal as the world’s top-ranked amateur.

Now, four more players have been added to Sarah Ingram’s roster.

• Amari Avery, 18, of Riverside, California
• Megha Ganne, 18, of Holmdel, New Jersey
• Emilia Migliaccio, 22, of Cary, North Carolina
• Latanna Stone, 21, of Riverview, Florida

Avery is a freshman at the University of Southern California and recently tied for fourth at the Augusta Nationa Women’s Amateur. Ganne is ranked 20th in the World Amateur Golf Ranking, finished low-am at the 2021 Women’s US Open at Olympic Club, and recently committed to Stanford University.
