GURNEE, Illinois – Underdog England swept the home team at the UL International Crown, but it wasn’t much of a surprise. We’ve seen this act before.
“I just like proving people wrong,” said Charley Hull, who bulldozed a solid team of Stacy Lewis and Gerina Piller with six birdies and an eagle on her own ball.
The beauty of the International Crown is that, while Team USA put zero points on the board in the opening match, they’re not out of it. All eight teams play three rounds at the Merit Club. Plenty of action left for Chicago-area fans to enjoy, despite the steamy weather.
