PALM BEACH GARDENS, Fla. — Billy Horschel made an 18-foot birdie putt down the slope, and Patrick Cantlay clinched the match with one other clutch chip because the Atlanta Drive received the inaugural TGL title on Tuesday night time by coming again for a 4-3 victory over New York.
Atlanta received each matches within the best-of-three TGL finals that wrapped up the primary season of the high-tech indoor league on the SoFi Middle.
New York led the whole match and was up 3-2 on the 14th gap when Horschel delivered the most important shot of the night time. Atlanta threw a “hammer” problem that New York accepted, making the penultimate gap value two factors. Rickie Fowler was in a bunker.
Fowler splashed out to 4 ft. Horschel confronted a putt down a pointy ridge that broke two methods, and it turned again to the left and into the cup as Horschel raced off the inexperienced, threw his putter and his hat and screamed, “My f—ing home!”
“Two ft out I knew it was within the gap, and I blacked out,” Horschel stated.
New York threw a hammer problem on the ultimate gap, making it value two factors. Cameron Younger and Cantlay every missed the inexperienced on the par-5. Cantlay’s pitch from 60 ft checked up and stopped a foot from the outlet. Younger needed to make to power one other match, and his pitch narrowly slid by the outlet.
The Atlanta Drive received $9 million to share amongst Horschel, Cantlay, Justin Thomas and Lucas Glover, who was inactive for the three-man match.
New York obtained $4.5 million for Younger, Fowler, Xander Schauffele and Matt Fitzpatrick.
