PALM BEACH GARDENS, Fla. (AP) — Patrick Cantlay
came up clutch with the putter again by making a 6-foot birdie
putt to give the Atlanta Drive a 6-5 victory over New York and a
1-0 lead in the best-of-3 finals of the TGL indoor golf league's
inaugural season.
Xander Schauffele had a chance to sent the match to a shootout
with a 6-foot birdie putt, but it caught the right edge and
lipped out.
The second finals match of high-tech league is Tuesday night,
followed immediately by a third match if necessary.
The score was tied at 2 after nine holes of alternate shot.
Cameron Young made a 9-foot eagle putt to give New York a 4-2
lead because Atlanta challenged with the hammer, making the hole
worth two points. Billy Horschel of Atlanta returned the favor,
making an 11-foot birdie putt when New York threw the hammer.
Young won the 13th hole when Justin Thomas of Atlanta made
bogey, only for Horschel to hit his tee shot on a par 3 to 5
feet for a conceded birdie.
The winner Tuesday gets $9 million — $2.25 million for each of
the four players — while the runner-up shares $4.5 million.
