The 33rd Curtis Cup Match was played on 12 and 13 June 2004 at Formby Golf Club in Formby, Merseyside, England. The United States won 10 to 8.[1] Great Britain and Ireland won 5 of the 6 foursomes but American dominated in the singles, winning 9 of the 12 matches. Michelle Wie became the youngest ever Curtis Cup player, at the age of 14.
The contest was a two-day competition, with three foursomes and six singles matches on each day, a total of 18 points.
Each of the 18 matches was worth one point in the larger team competition. If a match was all square after the 18th hole extra holes were not played. Rather, each side earned a point toward their team total. The team that accumulated at least 9 points won the competition. In the event of a tie, the current holder retained the Cup.
Eight players for Great Britain & Ireland and USA participated in the event plus one non-playing captain for each team.[2]
