Four 36-hole matches of foursomes were played on Thursday and eight singles matches on Friday. Each of the 12 matches was worth one point in the larger team competition. If a match was all square after the 36th 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.
The United States picked their team of 8 in late-April. Great Britain and Ireland selected a team of 10 in mid-June. [4] This team included Cyril Tolley but he withdrew at the end of the month and was replaced by Noel Martin. [5] At his time Tolley had become involved in a libel action against J. S. Fry & Sons of Bristol, chocolate manufacturers who had produced an advert in which Tolley was caricatured.
