Justin Thomas, Patrick Cantlay and Billy Horschel represented Atlanta; they grabbed the lead over Rickie Fowler, Matt Fitzpatrick and Cameron Young on the first hole of triples. Only one more point was awarded across the final eight holes of the first session as Atlanta doubled its lead heading into the six holes of singles.

Unfortunately for New York Golf Club, they have an extremely difficult match ahead of them based on the golfers each team has chosen to bench. New York will be missing their best golfer in Schauffele while Atlanta Drive will be sitting their weakest link in Lucas Glover.
