Atlanta Drive GC wins an exciting TGL match 7:4 against The Bay GC, maintaining their undefeated run.

The roles before the third match of the new TGL season were clear: defending champions Atlanta Drive GC came into the SoFi Center with a win under their belt, while The Bay Golf Club was making their season debut. After 15 holes, the final score was 7:4. The decisive lead was secured by the team around Billy Horschel, Patrick Cantlay, and substitute Chris Gotterup, especially in the singles format where Atlanta collected four of six points. After an even start, Atlanta took control from hole 11 onwards. \”We come in here, train, play our game – it fits,\” said Horschel. Even without the injured Justin Thomas, the team performed well, reflecting the squad’s depth. This marked their ninth win in the last ten TGL matches – an impressive record.

TGL: Gotterup Brings Atlanta Back Into the Game

For the second consecutive time, Chris Gotterup scored for Atlanta and was again a key factor. After a scoreless start on hole 1, he put Atlanta ahead with a par putt from nearly nine feet on hole 2. The Bay immediately responded with hammer plays on the next holes, putting Atlanta behind 1:2. The first significant momentum shift came on hole 6, called \”Alpine.\” Following The Bay’s equalizer, Gotterup chipped in for eagle, leveling the match. Even though The Bay didn’t use the hammer, the emotional impact was palpable: tie game. \”I try to see as much as possible on the greens – with all the lighting, it’s not easy,\” Gotterup said later. \”But when you make putts like that, you know what to expect.\”
