The South Team played some of their greatest rounds of golf that day and they were still scratching their heads trying to figure out how they lost by 1. The morning matches the North took an early lead by a score of 2 points. Early on during the afternoon matches the South was pulling ahead in the majority of the matches, but the North was not giving up making the South grind out every shot. With the last hole, came the win for the North with an 8 to 7 Victory!

This years 2010 Girls California State North/South Cup Matches was held at Poppy Hills Golf Course, in Pebble Beach California. The matches started out with a crisp Sunday Morning with an occasional fog rolling through the trees. Early on during the matches both teams were going back and forth trying to gain a strong lead. When the teams made the turn to the back nine, the momentum was starting to shift and the North was pulling ahead. The South put up a great fight, but in the end the North won 7 to 2.
