United States won the Eisenhower Trophy for the ninth time, finishing seven strokes ahead of the joint silver medalists, Japan and Sweden, with France finishing fourth. Luis Carbonetti, representing Argentina, had the lowest individual score, 4-under-par 284, a stroke better than Jay Sigel.
The event was affected by political protests about the participation of South Africa. Two of the stronger nations, Australia and Canada, did not compete while teams from Indonesia and Trinidad and Tobago attended the opening ceremony but later withdrew.[1]
