Back to two teams, and capped by PGA West Stadium — home of the AMEX Championship. Race to 16½.
Day One · Scramble · Desert Willow · Firecliff
Three matches decided on the last two holes; the reigning champions took all three and stepped out to a commanding 6–2 lead.
Day Two · Best Ball · Desert Willow · Mountain View
The Pirates won all three of the matches that reached the closing holes. AJ and Will Holland took the first, Miles and Wildon the second. 9–7.
Day Three · Singles · PGA West · Stadium
The San Andreas bunker loomed on 16 and the island green at 17 — Alcatraz — decided match after match. Ben and Maxx came out firing in match seven, both closing 7&6, to seal the Cup.
