Brandt Snedeker def. Andy Sullivan 3 & 1

This match turned out to be a lot closer than it looked like it was going to be. While Snedeker clearly outclassed his opponent, Sullivan held on for much of the afternoon and refused to give the U.S. an easy point.

While Sullivan took a 2-up lead after three holes, Snedeker quickly responded with back-to-back birdies to even things up. The Vanderbilt product took the lead with another birdie on seven and never surrendered it, making a pair of birdies on the back nine to clinch it on the 17th green. While Sullivan continued to fight, he never made a serious charge once his opponent took control of the match.
