A day after a shaky start, the United States swept all six matches at the Curtis Cup on Saturday to take an 8½-3½ lead over Great Britain and Ireland. Alexis Thompson, yet to lose a match, teamed with Jessica Korda to beat Danielle McVeigh and Leona Maguire 3 and 1 in the afternoon foursomes. The 15-year-old Thompson, expected to turn pro soon, consistently outdrove her opponents by 30 yards or more. The visitors led all three afternoon matches early on the second day of the biennial competition at Essex County Club. http://sports.espn.go.com/golf/news/story?id=5280255
