Day Three
December 17, 2006
Day three went to the very final match as Seon Hwa Lee broke an 11½-all tie on the seventeenth hole against Julieta Granada by halving it to ensure a one-point victory for Team Asia. This happened after two delays due to lightning that cast doubt on whether play would he completed on day three. The International team got off to a good start to the day, resulting in the drama that lasted right until the very end. The second match between Taiwan's Candie Kung and Paula Creamer from the United States went back and forth all the way with three lead changes, the last occurring on the 18th as Creamer took the point, winning the last hole and bringing the Internationals within reach. However, it was not to be as the Asians held on for a dramatic victory.
