Forsslund parred both the 420-yard, par-4 11th and the 554-yard, par-5 14th, picking up two strokes as Facey bogeyed both. After a run of three consecutive pars from both on Nos. 15-17, Forsslund parred the 456-yard 18th and Facey bogeyed to even the match. Both shot 2-over 73. Barry junior Jared Dalga shot a 1-over 72 to defeat Ricardo Celia by six strokes. Dalga had three birdies and won nine holes outright, while splitting seven others.
