Tyler rolls it to 2 inches.
GT goes 4 feet by. Must make.

He makes it for only the 3rd split hole today for these 2

Just as I say that Jackson doubles to lose a hole. Thankfully he can afford that. Max wins his hole with another birdie wow.

Tai is starting to play better not good. Just need to hold on to our 2 leads and get 1/3 remaining tossups.

I would argue we need our 3 “W’s” from some combination of our first four golfers.

On 14, Tyler hits into right with. GT in fairway, 50 yards longer.

Tyler hits across fairway into rough in left side. GT only has probably a 7 iron to green. Loses it right into the !!!!

Tyler wedges to greenside, while GT searches for ball. Must be deep? Not deep enough! He hits out to short yardage. I'm 200 yards away, can't tell exactly how close, but close.

Yeah this is one thing I don't know about this. Is 2-1-2 a "winning" score for us? They don't force the square matches to go until a winner is decided I assume.

Correct. It is a winning score. Think of it this way, a winning match is worth 1 point, and a halved match is worth .5 points for each team. At the end of all the matches, the team with the most points wins.

If the teams are tied with the last match remaining, they will play extra holes until there is a winner, but that would just be on the last match. For the first 4 matches, if the two players are tied after 18, that individual match is just halved (.5 points to each team)

OK, I got that wrong. Looking at my phone was a mistake. Tyler chips close and GT must 2 putt to halve the hole, 1 to win

Jackson in the creek on 14. Must take an unplayable. Advantage GT

Went slightly left and long I think. Appears GT will win 14. But Jackson will still have a big lead

Both herendeen and Kim hit nice shots to fairway. Advantage no one. This is still on 14

Max on green in 2. Think Kim missed it. This match could be over soon

With how hard the back 9 has been playing - think we’ll see some movement one way or the other. Still like that our 2 wins are pretty much guaranteed.

I'm certainly no expert but the following statement implies you must win three matches.

In team match-play competition, a total of five points will be available with one point being awarded for each individual match. Winning teams will advance to the semifinals and subsequently, the finals. The first team to win three points within the team match will advance, or in the case of the final match, be declared the national champion.
