Tommy Fleetwood, Collin Morikawa and Sahith Theegala started for L.A., while Tony Finau and Justin Rose sat out. Bay Golf Club had Min Woo Lee, Shane Lowry and Wyndham Clark start with Ludvig Åberg not participating.
A win for BGC — who started out strong with a lead after three holes — would have given them the top playoff seed. But Los Angeles dug back from a 3-0 lead to win and earn the No. 1 seed.
In the second matchup, Boston Common Golf and New York Golf Club face off. Rory McIlroy, Keegan Bradley and Adam Scott will participate for Boston with Hideki Matsuyama out. New York has Cameron Young, Rickie Fowler and Xander Schauffele start, while Matt Fitzpatrick will miss the contest.
Here’s a look at the best moments from Monday’s doubleheader.
Los Angeles Golf Club vs. Bay Golf Club
Lee’s putting is on full display
With the lead on the line, Lee faced a 13-foot, 3-inch birdie putt and made it look easy. His ball swirled in to give BGC a 1-0 lead through three holes. Bonus points to Lowry for a fun celebration with the hole’s flag.

Clark nearly connects on hole-in-one
BGC’s strong start continued on Hole 6 with an impressive drive from Clark. The 2023 U.S. Open champion came inches away from a hole-in-one. His ball’s second bounce almost dropped in the hole, landing 10-feet away after rolling. BGC followed up with a hammer throw and LA declined, giving a 3-0 lead to BGC.
