The United States took an 8 to 1 lead on the first day.[1] Great Britain and Ireland did much better on the second day, winning the morning foursomes. Needing just two wins in the afternoon singles, the United States won four and halved another for a convincing victory.[2]
The format for play on Friday and Saturday was the same. There were four matches of foursomes in the morning and eight singles matches in the afternoon. In all, 24 matches were played.
Each of the 24 matches was worth one point in the larger team competition. If a match was all square after the 18th hole extra holes were not played. The team with most points won the competition. If the two teams were tied, the previous winner would retain the trophy.
Teams
Ten players for the United States and Great Britain & Ireland participated in the event. Great Britain & Ireland had a playing captain, while the United States had a non-playing captain.[3]
