The ten team members had a combined 36- hole score of 878. This was the first time that a new scoring method was used in the Gold Cup whereby first day's score was based on the best ball of the twosome and on the second day's play, the total combined nets of the twosome was used. This was done to bring out the best team by reflecting each team member playing under low net total for both balls rather than best ball of both balls.
