The 1999 Palmer Cup was held on June 12–13, 1999 on the Honors Course, Chattanooga, Tennessee. The United States won 17½ to 6½.[1]
Format
[edit]On Saturday, there were four matches of four-ball in the morning, followed by four foursomes matches in the afternoon. Eight singles matches were played on the Sunday morning with a further eight more 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, each side earned half a point toward their team total. The team that accumulated at least 12½ points won the competition.
