The 2013 Palmer Cup was held on June 7âÂÂ9, 2013 on the South Course at Wilmington Country Club, Wilmington, Delaware. The United States won 20ý to 9ý. The teams were increased from 8 to 10.
The order of the sessions was changed. On Friday, there were five matches of four-ball, while there were ten singles matches on Saturday. Five foursomes matches were played on Sunday morning followed by ten singles matches in the afternoon. In all, 30 matches were played.
Each of the 30 matches was worth one point in the larger team competition. If a match was all square after the 18th hole, each side earned half a point toward their team total. The team that accumulated at least 15ý points won the competition.
Ten college golfers from the United States and Europe participated in the event.
The Michael Carter Award winners were James Erkenbeck and Pedro Figueiredo.
