In round one, the seventh-seeded Bruins faced off against second seed No. 10 Wake Forest in four-ball best-ball play. UCLA upset Wake Forest with a score of 7 1/2 to 4 1/2.
Later on Monday, UCLA tied No. 12 USC 6-6 in foursomes, but dropped the tiebreaker to the Trojans to go 1-1 on the first day of the tournament.
UCLA played Stanford on Tuesday in a format that featured six separate one-on-one matchups. Sophomores Matt Hutchins and Patrick Murphy both earned the maximum three points, helping the Bruins to a 16-8 victory over the Cardinal, who hosted the tournament.
