Steelman delivered the championship point by making a 27-foot downhill birdie putt on the 16th hole to close out McLauchlan, 3 and 2.
But Wake Forest countered with wins by Boyd Owens over Connor Howe (2&1) and Scotty Kennon over Hiroshi Tai (3&2) to tie things up at 2-2, setting up Steelman’s clutch putt and the exciting finish.
