RIDGELAND, S.C. Entering the day ahead 6.5-5.5, Team International earned 13.5 of Friday’s 24 available points to extend their gap over Team USA to 20-16 after 36 matches of the 2025 Arnold Palmer Cup.

Round 2 ~ Foursomes

The round’s first match in was Match 19 between Team International’s Connor Graham/Tyler Weaver and Team USA’s Ethan Fang/Preston Stout. Fang and Stout birdied seven holes and never trailed en route to their 3&1 victory, tying the team score at 6.5.

“We played really solid,” Stout said. “We didn’t really make any mistakes, making one bogey that was a three-putt. We put each other in some bad spots but were able to get out of trouble and save some holes.”

“We stayed composed and made up for it on the next one,” Fang continued. “When you do that, it’s hard to lose. I had never played alternate shot, especially playing with my (college) teammate, and it’s a pretty cool feeling, especially when you’re both playing well.”

Stout and Fang were both PING First Team All-Americans and members of Oklahoma State’s 2025 national championship team.

“These last couple of weeks have been kind of crazy, with a lot of media stuff, but it’s been really awesome,” said Stout. “Winning the national championship was something we wanted to do for a long time. To then come here and play with my boy and teammate, it was really fun. This round was honestly one of the more fun rounds of golf I’ve played in a long time.”

Starting with the Swedish pairing of Elice Fredriksson and Meja Örtengren, who won Match 13 1UP over Stanford and Team USA’s Megha Ganne and Kelly Xu, Team International won seven of the round’s final 10 matches to bump their lead up to 15-9 heading into the afternoon’s Mixed Foursomes.

Team International victories during that run included Madrid, Spain, natives Carolina Chacarra and Andrea Revuelta’s 6&5 in Match 17, Maria José Marin/Caitlyn Macnab’s 4&2 in Match 20, Charlie Forster/Justin Hastings’ 4&3 in Match 16, and Carla Bernat/Lauren Kim’s 4&3 in Match 22. Filip Jakubcik/Ross Laird won 2&1 in Match 14, Michael Mjaaseth/Árni Sveinsson won 2&1 in Match 23, and South Carolina teammates Eila Galitsky and Louise Rydqvist won 2UP in Match 24. Match 18 between Pablo Ereño/Gabriel Palacios and Team USA’s Adam Duncan ended tied.

Round 3 ~ Mixed Foursomes

Under the scorching South Carolina afternoon sun with “Feels Like” temperatures reaching 100 degrees, Team USA made an early charge, winning three of the first four matches in before winning the round 7-5.

Megha Ganne and Jacob Modleski didn’t look back after taking the Match 25 lead for good on the sixth hole en route to their 6&5 victory over Team International’s Ross Laird and Caitlyn Macnab.

“Megha and I worked really well together,” Modleski said. “It’s always good to go out and have a match where you feel like you’re in control the whole time. We enjoyed ourselves and the competition, and it’s always good to end a match with a win early.”

“We don’t get to play much team golf,” he continued. “Obviously at school, you play for a season, but being able to play for your country is something that everybody dreams of. To have the opportunity is something special.”

Catherine Park and Jack Turner led each of their final 15 holes against Team International’s Connor Graham and Andrea Revuelta to win Match 28 3&2. Match 32 saw Carson Bacha and Macy Pate record six birdies and lead the entire match for their 4&3 victory over Team International’s Charlie Forster and Lauren Kim.

After dropping her first-career Palmer Cup match in the morning, Mary Kelly Mulcahy and Match 30 partner Jase Summy turned in a 2&1 win over Team International’s Meja Örtengren and Gabriel Palacios after leading 12 of the final 14 holes.

Team International won or tied six of the final seven matches to come in to lead by four heading into Saturday’s Final Round Singles. They were guided by Maria José Marin/Árni Sveinsson’s 3&1 victory over Team USA’s Adam Duncan/Kendall Todd in Match 33, Madrid, Spain, natives Carolina Chacarra and Pablo Ereño’s 2&1 win in Match 34 over Team USA’s Anna Davis/Preston Stout, and a 1UP victory from Justin Hastings/Mirabel Ting in Match 31.

About the Arnold Palmer Cup

The Arnold Palmer Cup was co-founded by Arnold Palmer and the Golf Coaches Association of America (GCAA) and began at the Bay Hill Club & Lodge, Orlando, Fla., in 1997. The event is a Ryder Cup-style tournament featuring the top men’s and women’s university/college golfers matching the United States against a team of International players. The Palmer Cup has been played at some of the world’s greatest courses, including The Old Course at St. Andrews, The Royal County Down, Royal Portrush, Baltusrol, The Honors Course, Cherry Hills, and Lahinch. Beginning with the 2018 matches at Evian Resort Golf Club, the Palmer Cup is the only major tournament that features men and women playing side-by-side as partners.

Since its inception, over 245 former Arnold Palmer Cup alumni have gone on to earn cards on the PGA, DP World, or LPGA Tours; 46 have represented Europe/International or the USA in the Ryder Cup, Presidents Cup, or Solheim Cup and more than 95 have claimed over 435 victories on the PGA, DP World, LPGA, or Ladies European Tours. The United States leads the Palmer Cup series 15-12-1.

More than a showcase of golf skill, the Palmer Cup acknowledges and rewards character as well, in line with the principles of its founder and the Arnold & Winnie Palmer Foundation. Arnold and Winnie Palmer championed causes that were not just about golf, but possible because of golf. They devoted their time away from the game to philanthropy — focused especially on young people — and created a model for other modern athletes to use their influence in service to others. The Arnold & Winnie Palmer Foundation continues the Palmer tradition of impactful philanthropy by uniting the generosity of golfers and fans everywhere to make a difference.

The Arnold Palmer Cup is part of the foundation’s missions to promote youth character development and foster the growth of amateur/collegiate golf. For more information, please visit arnoldpalmercup.com.

Rolex and the Arnold Palmer Cup

Through an unwavering commitment to the game of golf for more than 50 years, Rolex has developed one of the broadest and longest-standing relationships between brand and sport. These strong ties date back to 1967 when Rolex partnered with legendary golfer Arnold Palmer, making him the first official Rolex Golf Testimonee. The charismatic American holds a special place in golf history thanks as much to his natural talent and successful playing career as to his pioneering role in the sport. Since that pivotal bond began, Rolex has gone on to establish partnerships at every level of the sport, including with the governing bodies responsible for advancing the sport and with the finest players, from The Big Three to the New Guard who lead today’s rankings. The decision to partner with the Arnold Palmer Cup was thus a natural progression for the Swiss watchmaker and a tribute to Arnold Palmer’s inspiring legacy.

Headquartered in Geneva, the brand is recognized around the world for its expertise and the quality of its products – symbols of excellence, elegance, and prestige. The movements of its Oyster Perpetual and Cellini watches are certified by COSC, then tested in-house for their precision, performance, and reliability. The Superlative Chronometer certification, symbolized by the green seal, confirms that each watch has successfully undergone tests conducted by Rolex in its laboratories according to its own criteria. These are periodically validated by an independent external organization.

The word “Perpetual” is inscribed on every Rolex Oyster watch. But more than just a word on a dial, it is a philosophy that embodies the company’s vision and values. Hans Wilsdorf, the founder of the company, instilled a notion of perpetual excellence that would drive the company forward. This led Rolex to pioneer the development of the wristwatch and numerous major watchmaking innovations, such as the Oyster, the first waterproof wristwatch, launched in 1926, and the Perpetual rotor self-winding mechanism, invented in 1931. In the course of its history. Rolex has registered over 500 patents.
