Ludvig Åberg did not waste time after his victory at Torrey Pines on Sunday.
After having a jet across the country almost immediately after winning the Genesis Invitational in southern California, Åberg helped lead the Bay GC to two of the biggest names in the sport of a triple head of the triple head day of TGL presidents.
They first beat Justin Thomas and Atlanta Drive GC 6-5 in the second match in Florida, then exceeded Rory McILroy and the Boston Commons GC to win a 5-4 victory and finish the night after a Wyndham putt Clark. He capped what was a remarkable golf section for the Swedish star, both on the course and on the simulator.
The bay was held to win a victory from a point in its first match of the day on Monday in Florida, part of a triple-head of the special presidents. This followed Thomas’ overtime rally that he sealed with a chip-in to beat the Los Angeles Golf Club.
The bay took an advance of 3-0 almost immediately, thanks in part to a clutch stroke of Min Woo Lee on the fourth hole. It came after a time dead on the green when they forgot to raise a club.
While Atlanta replied the fifth, thanks to a 13 feet from Thomas after the launch of a hammer, Lucas Glover missed a perfect opportunity to win the hammer in the next hole and suddenly take the lead. Glover responded to the ninth to close the triplets with a safe, however, which kept its deficit in one while they entered simple. This chip-in sent Thomas also backing down to the green to celebrate.
The bay finally advanced on the 13th after Clark won via a hammer throw, then Åberg dropped another dart on the 14th par-3. He was a few centimeters from an ace, which would have been the first in competition.
Thomas had the chance to force overtime to the last hole, but Thomas’ long putt was just a bit short. This gave the bay victory for a blow.
Then in the last match of the day, Hideki Matsuyama started in Boston with a two -point Birdie putt on the first hole. The bay has rallied and took the lead in the par-3 fifth, however, after Keegan Bradley had a putt of barely a boost after a hammer. This made him look with disbelief. The bay is then mounted which led through the rest of the nine before.
Bradley finally caught up on the 10th in his head-to-face battle with Shane Lowry. He chipped Eagle from the back of the green, which sparked a huge celebration inside the arena. It equaled the match.
Åberg continued to move forward immediately with a deep stewed putt to beat McILroy on their first hole to put the bay in mind. But, after Lowry turned a shot in the bunker, Boston launched another hammer to attach the match again in the last two holes.
McILroy then took his shot on the 14th and launched the hammer after having pulled his stewed putt. This put all the pressure on Åberg, which sank his 6 feet so that the match was linked to the last. Clark then won the match with a 10 -foot eagle putt on the 15th to put Matsuyama and Boston.
Justin Thomas leads Atlanta out of the hole
Teeing in the afternoon of its usual decor during prime time, the first match presented the GC Atlanta Drive (1-0), undefeated and the Los Angeles Golf Club (2-0).
LAGC took an advance of 1-0 at the start of the third hole, with Justin Rose flowing a 14-foot putt. However, the match was tied at 1-1 on the next hole when Justin Thomas launched the hammer for Atlanta, but Lagc refused. (Each team obtained three hammers under new rules, compared to one during the previous TGL matches.)
Sahith Theegala missed a putt on the fifth hole that would have given the head to Lagc, but the shot has launched. The two teams remained equal to 2-2 after holes 6 and 7.
LAGC won the ninth hole on a seven-feet putt to take a 3-2 lead. They built this margin at 5-2 when Tommy Fleetwood sank a birdie to win the hole 11.
However, Atlanta rallied to do it 5-4 on hole 13 with a Billy Putt out of pearl. LAGC maintained its slight edge until the hole 15 when Thomas cut to move the match to overtime.
In overtime, it is a challenge closest to the spindle in TGL. Fleetwood seemed to have given LAGC victory when he fled in his shot. But Patrick Cantlay finished the Atlanta rally and obtained victory, winning his shot less than five feet from the spit.
With the victory, Atlanta has briefly improved at 2-0 before falling at 2-1 this season. LAGC took its first defeat of the season and fell to 2-1, but it still looks like TGL’s favorite before a match next Monday against New York GC, which has not yet won.
