Atlanta Drive fight back to win inaugural TGL title

Atlanta Drive GC staged a dramatic comeback to beat New York GC 4-3 and claim the inaugural TGL title in Florida.

Patrick Cantlay sprinted to celebrate in front of the raucous crowd after sealing the win at the 15th and final hole for Atlanta.

"This is something different to what we play every week. We want to entertain," said Billy Horschel, who holed an 18-foot putt on the penultimate hole to put Atlanta ahead for the first time in the match.

"That's what this is about. It's been great to be with all three of these guys."

The win means the Atlanta team of Cantlay, Horschel, Justin Thomas and Lucas Glover will split £6.93m in prize money, with New York's Cameron Young, Xander Schauffele, Rickie Fowler and Matt Fitzpatrick sharing £3.46m.

Atlanta, who won the first match of the best-of-three final on Monday, slipped 3-0 behind after failing to win any of the first 11 holes.

They narrowed that gap to 3-2 after 13 before dropping the hammer, which made the penultimate hole worth two points.

And Horschel glided across the green after holing an 18-foot downhill putt that edged his side ahead.

"I hit the spot, it looked good. Two feet out I knew it was in the hole and I blacked out," Horschel said.

"I think I said some expletives. I think I said something about this being my house. It was a lot of fun."

New York dropped the hammer for the final hole to try and snatch the game but after both players missed the green, Cantlay's delicate pitch landed within a foot of the hole to seal the win.

The innovative technology-led indoor tournament was founded Tiger Woods and Rory McIlroy, who said they wanted to help take golf "into the 21st century".

"It's completely exceeded my expectations," said two-time major winner Thomas. "The competitiveness, once the play-offs got here, it was not chippy, but it was competitive. We wanted to win."
