Wie West nearly aced the par-three seventh to give Los Angeles a narrow 2-1 lead after nine holes. New York fought back, taking number 5 and seeing Lee defeat Linn Grant on number 11. In the closing stages, Zhang missed two short putts on the 13th and Grant missed a 10-footer on the 14th, sealing the win for Los Angeles before the teams tied the final hole.
Michelle Wie West commented on the intimate setting and the growth of the competition. Los Angeles will look to build a winning streak against Motor City Golf Club, featuring Lexi Thompson and Brooke Henderson, on Tuesday.
