Europe wins the Palmer Cup

Format

The format was revised so that there were singles matches on both afternoons rather than two sessions of singles on the second day. On Thursday, there were four matches of four-ball in the morning, followed by eight singles matches in the afternoon. Four foursomes matches were played on the Friday morning with a further eight singles 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 121/2 points won the competition.

Michael Carter award

The Michael Carter Award winners were Bill Haas and David Price.[2]

gollark: You might as well just retrocausally unexist them. Much more efficient, since you no longer need the guns.
gollark: Really, shooting them at all is a waste.
gollark: Assuming the trespassers are paramagnetic, I mean.
gollark: I mean, it would be quite easy to use the orbital trespasser magnets™.
gollark: IIRC it isn't actually that lambda-calculus-related, since you can just do "bind [opponent health] [deal damage]" or something like that.
