The first tie occurred in the 1936 Match, 4 ½ to 4 ½. Miss
Jessie Anderson, of the British Isles, sank a 21- foot putt
at the home green to defeat Mrs. L. D. Cheney, 1-up, in the
last match. The teams had tied in the foursomes with 1½ points
each. In the singles, Mrs. Vare, Miss Charlotte Glutting,
and Miss Maureen Orcutt won for the United States, and Mrs.
Andrew M. Holm and Mrs. Marjorie Ross Garon scored for the
British Isles.
The Americans then led, 4½ to 3½, before Miss Anderson's
dramatic putt. All matches were played in one day, at the
King's Course, Gleneagles, Scotland. The Cup remained in the
United States for the next two years. The British, captained
by Miss Doris Chambers, graciously declined to share the trophy
after the tie, declaring they had not won any claim to it.
