1958 Curtis Cup
The 10th Curtis Cup Match was played on August 8 and 9, 1958 at the Brae Burn Country Club in West Newton, Massachusetts. The match was tied with both team having 41⁄2 points, and so the British Isles retained the trophy as the previous winner.[1] The British Isles won two of the three foursomes matches but the United States won three of the six singles matches and halved another to tie the contest.[2][1][3] FormatThe contest was played over two days, with three foursomes on the first day and six singles matches on the second day, a total of 9 points. Matches were over 36 holes. Each of the 9 matches was worth one point in the larger team competition. If a match was all square after the 18th hole extra holes were not played. Rather, each side earned 1⁄2 a point toward their team total. The team that accumulated at least 5 points won the competition. Teams
