Punch GC managed to overcome a loss by Cameron Smith to Sergio Garcia of Fireballs GC to punch their ticket to the championship. Marc Leishman helped save the day with his win over Carlos Ortiz.

Stinger GC was the final team to clinch a spot in the championship with a win over Crushers GC. Louis Oosthuizen outlasted Bryson DeChambeau in a 23-hole marathon. DeChambeau had the opportunity to end the match early, but his long putt barely missed the hole. A key moment in the extra holes occurred when DeChambeau hit a tee shot that went left and landed in the water, opening the door for Oosthuizen to take advantage.
