Kupcho attended Wake Forest from 2015-19. Maguire attended ACC rival Duke from 2014-18. They both were ranked No. 1 in the world during their college stints. They both won Player of the Year awards. They both won a lot and often had to beat the other in order to do so.
On Sunday at Inverness Club, the stakes were higher than ever.
Europe led, 8 ½ – 6 ½, with the final fourballs match on the final hole. Kupcho had just dramatically chipped in for birdie at the par-4 17th to give her and partner Lizette Salas a 1-up advantage.
