Live Scoring

Barbaree never trailed in his match, but he still needed 19 holes to put away Turk Pettit. Barbaree took a 1 UP lead into the 18th hole, but Pettit birdied the Par 5 18th forcing extra holes. Barbaree carded a par on the 19th hole of the match and Pettit was unable to match the score, therefore sending Barbaree to the next round.

Winstead won 2&1 against Kevin O’Connell. Winstead came out strong moving to 3 UP after six holes, O’Connell tied the match on the 13th hole. Winstead earned wins on the 14th and 16th holes to go 2 UP before he and O’Connell both parred the 17th hole to conclude the match.

Garrett Barber was unable to advance out of the 18-man playoff to get into match play on Wednesday morning. He parred the first hole, but failed to birdie the second, eliminating him from competition.
