The Ryder Cup play used a best-ball and best-score format the first day, May 22, and a best-ball and individual-score format the second day, May 23, of the weekend tournament.

The first day drew 20 golfers, with Petersburg winning 6-4. The visitors won the second day 13½ to 8½, with 16 golfers on the course.
