Team 3 bogied holes 1 and 2 but birdied hole 6. (+1)

Who won please?
Team 3
The USGA has standard tie breaker rules. In a tie, the lower back nine score wins, which doesn’t apply here since it was a 9 hole contest. Then the last 6 are compared, then the last 3, then the last hole. So, team 1 was even on the last 6, team 2 was +1, and team 3 was -1, hence the winner
