Only two players outside of Great Britain & Ireland played in fact—Seve Ballesteros and Antonio Garrido of Spain—and their inclusion made little difference to the American domination of the contest. The Americans won by 17 points to 11.
It would take three more contests before Europe finally achieved a win, at The Belfry in 1985—the first defeat for the US since 1957, and only their third since the Cup began in 1927.
