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.[1]
The United States won all three foursomes matches and five of the six singles matches to win the contest.[2][1][3] This was the last Curtis Cup in which 36-hole matches were played.
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.
