1962 Curtis Cup

The 12th Curtis Cup Match was played on August 17 and 18, 1962 at the Broadmoor Golf Club in Colorado Springs, Colorado. The United States won by 8 matches to 1, to retain the trophy.

The United States won all three foursomes matches and five of the six singles matches to win the contest. This was the last Curtis Cup in which 36-hole matches were played.

Format
The contest was played over two days, with three foursomes on the first day and six singles matches on the second day, a total of 9 points. Matches were over 36 holes.

Each of the 9 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 1⁄2 a point toward their team total. The team that accumulated at least 5 points won the competition.
