London, Feb 07: Teenage star Michelle Wie is set to become the youngest-ever player to compete in the Curtis Cup. Wie, who narrowly missed the cut in the Sony Open on the men's US Tour in January, will represent the US against Britain and Ireland at Formby in June. The 14-year-old is two years younger than Laura Baugh, who played for America in the 1972 contest.

The American team will feature five teenagers, including 17-year-olds Paula Creamer and Jane Park.
