CORAL GABLES, Fla. – University of Miami golfer Sara Byrne closed out action with Team International at the 2024 Arnold Palmer Cup Sunday afternoon at Lahinch Golf Club in Lahinch, Ireland.

Team USA and Team International entered the final day of the Arnold Palmer Cup tied at 18, but Team USA narrowly edged Team International, 14.5 to 9.5 on Sunday to clinch the overall victory, 32.5 to 27.5.
