The 2003 Palmer Cup was held on July 10–11, 2003 on the Cassique Course, Kiawah Island Club, Kiawah Island, South Carolina. Europe won 14 to 10.[1] This was the first Palmer Cup in which qualification was extended to the whole of Europe.

Format

[edit]

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.
