USA Name Eight-strong Squad For Curtis Cup At Bel-Air

World number one Kiara Romero headlines an experienced American line-up as the 44th Curtis Cup heads to Los Angeles this June.

The USGA has confirmed the eight players who will represent the United States in the 44th Curtis Cup at Bel-Air Country Club, 12–14 June 2026 with world number one Kiara Romero set to make her debut in the biennial match against Great Britain and Ireland.

Meghan Stasi captains the USA for a second successive time. A four-time US Women’s Mid-Amateur champion, she represented the country as a player at the 2008 match at St Andrews and brings seven seasons of collegiate coaching experience at Ole Miss to the captaincy.

The match runs across three days — foursomes and fourball on days one and two, eight singles on the final day.

Meet the Team: USA’s Eight for the 44th Curtis Cup

Anna Davis | Age 20 | California | World Ranking: 18

Davis won the Augusta National Women’s Amateur at 16 — at the time the youngest champion in the event’s history — and returns for her second Curtis Cup. Now at Auburn University, she has accumulated international team experience across the Arnold Palmer Cup, Women’s World Amateur Team Championship and Junior Solheim and Ryder Cups.

Kary Hollenbaugh | Age 21 | Ohio | World Ranking: 27

A first-time selection arriving off the back of a strong collegiate season at Ohio State, where she won four events to equal the programme’s single-season record. She also defended her South Atlantic Women’s Amateur title and played in the US Women’s Open at Erin Hills in 2025.

Jasmine Koo | Age 20 | California | World Ranking: 13

Returns for her second Curtis Cup in strong form. Koo won a Hawaii invitational by six strokes this year and topped the strokeplay leaderboard at the Women’s Amateur at Nairn. She claimed low-amateur honours at the 2024 Chevron Championship and won the Toyota Junior World Cup in Japan the same year.

Farah O’Keefe | Age 20 | Texas | World Ranking: 4

A first-time selection and one of the most decorated players in the field. Runner-up at the Women’s Amateur Championship in 2025, three collegiate wins in 2026, and a gold medal with the Espírito Santo Trophy-winning USA team at the Women’s World Amateur Team Championship. She also made the cut at the US Women’s Open.

Kiara Romero | Age 20 | California | World Ranking: 1

Romero arrives as the top-ranked amateur in the world, having claimed the McCormack Medal in 2025.

This is her first Curtis Cup.

Asterisk Talley | Age 17 | California | World Ranking: 7

The youngest player in the squad returns for her second Curtis Cup. Talley’s singles win over Lottie Woad at Sunningdale in 2024 established her internationally; since then she has added the Girls’ Junior PGA Championship and two wins in 2026. Her third consecutive US Women’s Open start is also on the horizon this summer.

Avery Weed | Age 20 | Mississippi | World Ranking: 33

The Mississippi State player brings five top-four finishes this season and a track record of performing under pressure — including a top ten at the NCAA Division I Women’s Golf Individual Championship in 2025 and a run to the last 32 of the US Women’s Amateur.
