1936

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.
