West Hartford, Connecticut (October 10, 2023) – After day one of the 89th Tri-State Matches at Wampanoag Country Club Massachusetts and Connecticut are in a near dead heat. With just one round of four-ball matches slated for Wednesday morning Massachusetts will carry a 49-48 lead into the final day with Rhode Island in third place sitting at 23 points.
Of late Massachusetts has been the dominant force of late winning 14 consecutive matches from 2004-2017 and then after Connecticut snapped their streak in 2018 they have won the last three matches. Heading into this year’s competition Massachusetts has won 17 of the last 18 Tri-State Matches. However, Connecticut now has a chance to snap that streak and add to their series leading win total of 40.
The final day four-ball matches will begin at 9 a.m. Click here for the pairings.
