Atlanta Drive GC wins an exciting TGL match 7:4 over The Bay GC, remaining undefeated this season.

Before the third match of the new TGL season, roles were clearly defined: defending champions Atlanta Drive GC came into the SoFi Center with a win under their belt, while The Bay Golf Club was set for their season debut. After 15 holes, the final score was 7:4. The decisive lead was secured by the team featuring Billy Horschel, Patrick Cantlay, and substitute Chris Gotterup, especially in the singles format, where Atlanta claimed four of six possible points. After a balanced start, Atlanta asserted dominance from hole 11 onwards. \”We come in, train, and play our game — it fits,\” said Horschel. Despite the absence of the injured Justin Thomas, the team’s depth shone through. It marked their ninth win in ten TGL matches — an impressive record.

TGL: Gotterup Brings Atlanta Back Into the Game

For the second consecutive match, Chris Gotterup appeared on the scoreboard for Atlanta and was once again a key factor. Following a scoreless start on hole 1, he put Atlanta ahead on hole 2 with a par putt from just under nine feet. The Bay responded immediately on the next holes by using the Hammer, putting Atlanta behind 1:2. The first clear momentum shift came on hole 6, known as \”Alpine.\” After The Bay had leveled the score, Gotterup holed a chip-in for eagle, bringing Atlanta back on par. Though The Bay did not use the Hammer, the emotional impact was palpable: a tie game. \”I try to see as much as possible on the greens — with all the lighting, it’s not easy,\” Gotterup remarked later. \”But when you make shots like those putts, you know what to expect.\”
