Here are the pairings for the morning session at the Curtis Cup tomorrow, Friday:

• Elizabeth Bennett/Jodi Ewart, Great Britain & Ireland, vs. Stacy Lewis/Alison Walshe, United States
• Sally Watson/Michele Thomson, Great Britain & Ireland, vs. Mina Harigae/Jennie Lee, United States
• Breanne Loucks/Florentyna Parker, Great Britain & Ireland, vs. Amanda Blumenherst/Tiffany Joh, United States

These are foursomes (alternate shot); an afternoon session will feature three fourballs (better ball).No surprise that U.S. captain Carol Semple Thompson partnered the T-Joh with Blumenherst, or that that pairing has the anchor spot for the Americans.

Blumenherst and Joh partnered one another several times in AJGA tournaments, and also at last year’s Spirit International.
