Team Ruffels won Day 2 of the 2026 Internet Invitational, beating Team Bryan 12.5-6.5 at Buffalo Ridge in Episode 4. Wesley Bryan’s team is out.
Ryan Ruffels’ side led 6-2 after the morning scramble. Dave Portnoy then sent all 32 players out in 16 nine-hole singles matches, each worth one point, with the first team to 12.5 winning the day.
Each team ranked its players 1 through 16, and Portnoy set the matchups. He made three late switches before play: Justin Gaethje to Bobby Fairways, Bubbie to Mac Boucher and Bobby Ray to Tisha Alyn.

Gaethje, Big John and Gruden put the first points on the board for Team Ruffels. Team Bryan answered in the middle groups, with Boucher, Hogle and Thompson all winning and George Bryan rallying to halve with Morris.
Fat Perez beat Carmichael-Brown 2&1 to move Team Ruffels to 11.5. Salim then holed a putt on the 9th to beat Forgeard 1 up and clinch the day.
With Day 2 decided, the remaining players were called back to the clubhouse. Whitney was 1 up on Andolpho playing the final hole, and four other matches were left unfinished.
The captains could not be separated. Ruffels, the lowest handicap left in the field at +6.9, and Bryan, a +5.8, finished all square.
Whitney did not like his draw against Andolpho. “It’s the ultimate lose-lose. I would have rather played Wesley Bryan,” he said.
Two rulings drew attention. On the 13th, Sam Heung Min said Big John’s ball moved as he set up to an approach shot, and on the final hole Cheddy took a penalty after losing a ball he could not identify by brand or number.

Winning Day 2 did not make Team Ruffels safe. Portnoy split its 16 players into four teams of four, and one of those teams will be eliminated at the start of Episode 5.
The remaining players are chasing a $4 million prize pool that will be split among the final three-player winning team.
Episode 5 premieres Monday, Nov. 9 at 1 p.m. ET on YouTube, and the finale follows Thursday, Nov. 12.
