South Carolina delivered a commanding performance to defeat Ontario at the 26th annual Can-Am Matches, held March 21–22, 2026, at Wachesaw Plantation Club in Murrells Inlet, South Carolina. The hosts secured a decisive 42.5–29.5 victory, extending their series lead to 21–5.
The two-day competition followed a traditional format, opening with eight four-ball matches on Day 1 before shifting to 16 singles matches on Day 2. Each match was worth one point for a win, and matches tied after 18 holes awarded a half-point to each team. A total of 36.5 points was required to win.
Despite the final margin, Ontario produced notable individual performances. Kaprice Park and Joseph Totino each recorded nine birdies during the opening round, highlighting a strong showing in four-ball play. However, South Carolina’s depth and consistency across both formats ultimately proved decisive in capturing the win.
