The TGL playoffs continued on Tuesday night with a matchup between The Bay Golf Club and Atlanta Drive Golf Club.

The Bay GC, seeded second in the postseason, previously experienced their only defeat this year against Los Angeles Golf Club on March 3, which cost them the top playoff seed. Atlanta Drive GC, the third seed, had their single loss of the season against The Bay on February 17.

Representing The Bay were Min Woo Lee, Ludvig Åberg, and Shane Lowry. Wyndham Clark was not playing. Atlanta’s team consisted of Justin Thomas, Billy Horschel, and Patrick Cantlay, with Lucas Glover sitting out.

Atlanta secured a 9-3 victory over The Bay and will now compete against New York GC in the finals. The final series is a best-of-three format scheduled for March 24 and 25.

Here are some key moments from Tuesday’s TGL playoff match.

Lee’s Powerful 190 mph Drive

Continuing his regular season form as the league leader in driver distance and speed, Lee maximized his first drive of the night. He launched the ball 328 yards, achieving a peak speed of 190 miles per hour.


Star-Studded Playoff Golf

The second TGL semifinal match on Tuesday attracted numerous celebrities. Among the viewers were former NFL quarterback Michael Vick, former Atlanta Braves third baseman Chipper Jones, golfer Rory McIlroy, and Atlanta Falcons quarterback Michael Penix Jr. and tight end Kyle Pitts.


Lowry’s Near Bunker Shot

Lowry attempted to prevent Atlanta from scoring on Hole 8 with an impressive 40-foot chip shot from the bunker aiming for par. The shot was accurately directed but slightly missed to the right just before reaching the hole.


Thomas’s Fortunate Bounce on Hole 10

Thomas benefited from luck during his second shot on Hole 10. The ball was headed out of bounds but bounced back into play off a restricted area. Even McIlroy on commentary remarked it was ‘the luckiest bounce’ he had ever witnessed.


Cantlay’s Near Hole-in-One Secures Victory

Facing elimination, The Bay used their last ‘hammer’ on Hole 12, doubling the hole’s point value. However, Cantlay responded immediately with a shot that nearly went in for a hole-in-one.

The ball stopped just under four feet from the hole. To guarantee their win, Atlanta also played their final ‘hammer’, tripling the hole’s points. Cantlay then made the putt, securing the victory for Atlanta.
