The matches will be decided during Thursday's singles matches
After a back-and-forth match, Brian Komline and Tyler Cline began to make moves late on the back nine. Komline birdied the 15th hole to go 1 up, but Alex Gleeson from the GUI answered that with an eagle on 16. All square going into 17, Cline made par which won them the hole after Gleeson struggled off the tee. Cline made another par on 18 to halve the hole, which won Komline and Cline the match and gave the MGA another point.
Colm Campbell and Mark Power won the GUI a point when they defeated Stewart Hagestad and Ethan Ng, 3 & 2. Trevor Randolph and Darin Goldstein had a tough time battling the GUI's Conor O'Rourke and Jonathan Yates, and the GUI secured their third point when O'Rourke and Yates won on the 14th hole.
Thursday's six singles matches will decide who win the cup. The matches will start at 8:30 am.
