The 2007 Palmer Cup was held on June 7–8, 2007 on the Caves Valley Golf Club, Owings Mills, Maryland. The United States won 18 to 6. Europe took a 3–1 lead on the first morning but the United States won all 8 of the afternoon singles matches to lead 9–3.
Format
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.
