The United States had only once tasted defeat in the twelve meetings of the Walker Cup since 1922. But despite what seemed like favourable weather conditions and a player of the calibre of Ronnie White, who had known the links since his childhood, the home team were to come home in second place once again. The singles matches were lost 4-3, with one halved, which made the final aggregate 6-3 in favour of the US. The result may have gone against Great Britain but there were displays of skill and determination which would augur well for future meetings of the two nations.
