Rules: Foursomes is a doubles match played using only one ball over 18 holes. This means each player will alternate and contribute to 9 holes each during the round which is divided as follows.

Team USA
Player 1 - will score for the team in rounds 1, 3, 5, 7, 9, 11, 13, 15, 17.
Player 2 - will score for the team in rounds 2, 4, 6, 8, 10, 12, 14, 16, 18.

Team Europe
Player 1 - will score for the team in rounds 1, 3, 5, 7, 9, 11, 13, 15, 17.
Player 2 - will score for the team in rounds 2, 4, 6, 8, 10, 12, 14, 16, 18.

A hole will be won if a player scores with a bigger word than their respective European / USA counterpart. If the scores match, the hole is halved.

As with all matches - Rounds 19 and 20 of the attack don’t count towards your ‘round’.

The team with the most hole wins after 18 holes picks up a point in the overall scoring. If the scores are level at the end of the match, the match is ‘halved’ with each team earning 1/2 a point.
