The United States team won the competition by a score of 181⁄2 to 91⁄2 points. It was the largest margin of defeat for a European team (since 1979) at the Ryder Cup until 2021. It is also the largest margin of defeat for the host team on European soil. Seve Ballesteros was not selected for the European team after an ongoing dispute with the European Tour concerning appearance money.
