WINSTON-SALEM, N.C. -- Wake Forest women's golf signee Sierra Brooks was named to the USA Team for the 2016 Curtis Cup Match, the United States Golf Association announced Tuesday. The eight-player team will represent the United States at the event, held June 10-12 at Dun Laoghaire Golf Club in Enniskerry, Ireland.
The Curtis Cup Match is a biennial international women's amateur golf competition between eight-player teams from the United States of America and Great Britain and Ireland (GB&I). It consists of six foursomes (alternate-shot) matches, six four-ball matches and eight singles matches over three days of competition. The USGA's International Team Selection (ITS) Committee selects the USA Team, while the Ladies' Golf Union selects the GB&I Team.
Brooks, who signed a letter of intent to begin her collegiate career with the Demon Deacons this fall, is currently ranked No. 4 in the Women's World Amateur Golf Ranking. A native of Sorrento, Fla., she won the South Atlantic Women's Amateur and the Women's Southern Amateur last year.
"Being selected to play on the Curtis Cup team is such an honor and longtime goal and dream," said Brooks. "I'm so blessed that I was given this opportunity and I look forward to representing the red, white, and blue this summer in Ireland!"
