The world of golf has been going for quite some time recently.
On Sunday, rising star Rudig Aberg won the Genesis Invitational. Your thing is truly predicted on the day Scotty Schaeffler has done quite a bit of a charge and Maverick McNeely does everything he can to get his victory back.
Golf stepped into the gas on Monday's holiday as TGL, a new golf simulator league featuring PGA Tour experts, launched triple header worthwhile action between teams in Atlanta and Los Angeles. These TGL matches have become a bit out of hand in the past, but Monday's first match fell a bit on the wire in an astonishing way.
Things got a little more interesting when Tommy Fleetwood continued the match with a surprising long putt astonishingly, as Tommy Fleetwood took a 5-4 lead (there are 15 in the match).
This set up Sahis Tegara (LA) and Justin Thomas (Atlanta) for the final hole showdown that Thomas needed to win to take a massive shot.
Hole 15 (quick draw) is a 714-yard par 5 that looks difficult. Thomas was in a great position to approach after the tee shot, but Tegara went into the sand, which seemed to spell out trouble.
As fate has, Tegara entered the Green Side Bunker to give him Another Shot from the sand. When Thomas landed on the green side it looked as if he was commander. This became an even bigger assumption after Tegara hit his shot and stayed in the bunker. All JT had to do was go up and down, ensuring overtime.
Surprisingly, Thomas duffed the shot and didn't even reach the green. Up and down, the holes will split and could potentially give Los Angeles a match. Poetically, Thomas tried out loud and did it to make up for it…
JT won the final hole and drilled a hole to send things in the time Atlanta won. I've been watching all TGL matches very closely so far, but I've never invested anywhere, like I've been in this match for the last few seconds.
The moment of golf doesn't stop right away, and the TGL doesn't stop. When I write this, there are two matches left for President's Day. Time to love beautiful games.
