Kim, who became the youngest U.S. Women's Amateur champion when she won the 2006 championship at 14, will be one of four United States Golf Association champions who will represent the U.S. against golfers from Great Britain and Ireland.

The three-day biennial competition will be played May 30-June 1 on the Old Course at St. Andrews, Scotland.

Kim, a high-school junior, moved to Arizona to enhance her golf career. She was the runner-up at the 2006 U.S. Women's Amateur Public Links and a semifinalist at the 2007 Women's Amateur. Kim also was the stroke-play medalist at the 2007 U.S. Girls' Junior, recording a championship-typing first-round 62.

Other USGA champions on the USA team are two-time U.S. Women's Mid-Amateur champion Meghan Bolger, 29, of

Haddonfield, N.J., and U.S. Women's Amateur Public Links champions Tiffany Joh, 21, of San Diego and Mina Harigae, 18, of Monterey, Calif.

Also on the team are two members of the victorious 2006 USA Curtis Cup team: Amanda Blumenherst, 21, of Scottsdale, Ariz., and Jennie Lee, 21, of Henderson, Nev. The two are teammates at Duke. Reigning NCAA Division I collegiate champion Stacy Lewis, 22, of The Woodlands, Texas, and Alison Walshe, 22, of Westford, Mass., complete the team.

The USA team has won the last five Curtis Cup matches (1998, 2000, 2002, 2004, 2006) and leads the series, which started in 1932, by 25-6-3.
