“It’s an honor to be here,” said Lee. “It’s my first time in the U.S., and it’s just a great experience for all of us. Australia is a nice place to compete but competing against the U.S. is just different. Reagan and I were able to do well this afternoon, so it’s very nice to be able to play well on top of the overall experience.”
The side of Hamish Farquharson/Spencer Harrison picked up Australia’s second point of the day, defeating the American duo of Henry Guan/Phillip Dunham, 3 and 2. Sarah Hammett and Ella Scaysbrook quickly followed with a win of their own, defeating 2022 U.S. Girls’ Junior runner-up Gianna Clemente and U.S. Women’s Open low amateur Asterisk Talley, 1 up.
The American teams of Schremmer/Oh, Mawhinney/Hartman and Brown/Watts all picked up their second points of the day with commanding wins. At day’s end, the Americans led 9 to 3.
Wednesday will feature 12 singles matches beginning at 8:10 a.m. ET. The match is a World Amateur Golf Ranking® (WAGR®)-sanctioned event.
