FAYETTEVILLE -- University of Arkansas sophomore Emily Tubert joined her Curtis Cup teammates as they began practice this week.

Tubert, a Burbank, Calif., native, sets aside her college loyalties as the eight-member team looks to bring home the title for the United States.

"Breaking down those college barriers was at the forefront of the USA Team’s sole practice session ahead of the 2012 Curtis Cup Match, which will be contested June 8-10 at The Nairn Golf Club in Scotland against an eight-player team from Great Britain and Ireland. All eight USA Team members assembled at La Quinta Resort & Club in the Coachella Valley on the last weekend in January for their lone opportunity to learn about each other – and prepare to defend the Curtis Cup, something the Americans have successfully done in the biennial competition since 1998.

Dr. Pat Cornett, captain of the USA Team, was faced with the daunting task of taking eight young women and merging their individual talents into one cohesive unit." -- From USGA.com
