Scott Hickey, PGA (Cyprian Keyes) and Chris Hulme, PGA (Sterling National) defeated Matt Zdon, PGA (Belmont CC) and John Fields, PGA (Belmont CC) 2&1 on the 17th hole. Rich Berberian Jr., PGA (Vesper CC) played the majority of his match by himself against Todd Scarafoni, PGA (Bass Rocks GC) and Gregg Richbourg, PGA (Cape Cod National) after his partner Matt Arvanitis, PGA (Southern New Hampshire Univ.) had to leave.
