I guess this reminds me of the ... 2014(?) mens team.
Won stroke play portion by 9 shots or so, then lost early in match play.

Match play has always seemed more random to me than stroke play, but maybe just different.

It is strange how they switch from stroke to match. Sort of like playing the hoops tournament the current way until the Final Four, and then switching to 5 games of 1 on 1 to determine who advances. I guess they are trying to be consistent with the USGA amateur championships, where they use stroke play to get down to a manageable number before match play, but those are individual events, not teams. In other team events, such as the Ryder Cup, there is no stroke play.

Having said that, we know the rules, and we came up short.
