As with the three previous events, the host team won and the series was tied at two wins each.

John Henry Taylor became only the second of three Team Great Britain captains to ever lift the Ryder Cup and was Great Britain's last Ryder Cup victory until 1957, the only post-war win until Team Europe won its first in 1985.

After the four rounds they held 5 of the 6 leading positions with Shute and Wood tying for the tead.

The British pair won the 17th but Whitcombe missed a 4-foot putt at the last and the match was halved.

In the afternoon play the first two matches finished quickly with wins for Sarazen and Mitchell.

If Shute had holed his putt the match would have ended as a tie and the United States, as defending champions, would have retained the cup.
