The 2009 Palmer Cup was held on June 4–5, 2009 at Cherry Hills Country Club, Cherry Hills Village, Colorado. Europe won 13 to 11.[1]
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 12½ points won the competition.
Eight college golfers from the United States and Europe participated in the event.
