The exciting number one match up of Jason Gulasekharam and William Howard was an entertaining display of golf all morning before Gulasekharam was able to pull away in the back stretch to finish off a 3/2 victory.
Otago somehow manufactured an incredible victory over the host side Taranaki after looking certain to fall short.
A sublime par on the last hole (par three ninth) gave Michael 'Moxy' Smith the deciding win over Travis Stewart. The Otago veteran is four from four this week.
Wellington returned to their winning ways with a vital win over a courageous Tasman side who are also out of contention. Leading New Zealand amateurs Daniel Hillier and Ryan Chisnall stole the show with an epic encounter that came down to the final hole where Hillier snuck away with victory.
The pair started slow before turning on a clinic, shooting five late birdies a piece to show why they are the country's leading amateurs.
This leaves both sides of the draw in an intense arm wrestle with three teams vying for only two semifinal positions in each division.
Wellington will meet Otago tomorrow in what is shaping up to be a mouth-watering match and will go a long way in deciding our semifinalists.
