The 34th Curtis Cup Match was played on July 29 and 30, 2006, at Bandon Dunes Golf Resort near Bandon, Oregon.[1] The United States won 11 to 6 on the Pacific Dunes course.[2] [3] This was the last two-day Curtis Cup, which expanded to three days in 2008.
The contest was a two-day competition, with three foursomes and six singles matches on each day, a total of 18 points.[1] [2]
Each of the 18 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 a half point toward their team total. The team that accumulated at least 9 points won the competition. In the event of a tie, the current holder retained the Cup.
Eight players for the USA and Great Britain & Ireland participated in the event plus one non-playing captain for each team.[4]
