Tiebreaker:

Winners will be determined on the basis of the team score on the last nine holes, last six holes, last three holes and finally the last hole. If the teams are still tied, continue backwards from the last hole until a winner is determined. (The “last nine holes, last six holes, etc.” is considered to be 10-18, 13-18, etc.)
