Final score · match points
Forty-four players — a record at the time. The Pirates chasing a first title, the OG's chasing a fourth straight.
The final above is computed from the published day-by-day totals — this Cup's recap never stated one.
Day One · Scramble · Desert Willow · Mountain View
The best swag to date, and a “Putt for Poison” contest on the practice green. The Pirates led most of the day until putts dropped on 18 to flip matches — Ben Sparling's birdie among them. The OG's 7–4.
Day Two · Best Ball · Desert Willow · Firecliff
Ultra-firm greens. The Pirates led for most of the day again, but the tide turned around one o'clock and the OG's took it 6–5. 13–9.
Day Three · Singles · PGA West · Nicklaus
The unthinkable. The Pirates routed the three-time defending champions 16–6 in Sunday singles, storming the greens and capturing the Cup with full conviction.
Casino nights at Agua Caliente. Seventy degrees and light wind all three days.
