Overview
- The Friday match at the SoFi Center in Palm Beach Gardens aired on ESPN2 with streaming on Fubo.
- Boston’s active trio was Rory McIlroy, Keegan Bradley and Michael Thorbjornsen, with Adam Scott and Hideki Matsuyama inactive; Los Angeles played Justin Rose, Collin Morikawa and Sahith Theegala as Tommy Fleetwood sat.
- Boston used the hammer effectively in triples, converting a doubled hole to help reach a 4-4 tie before the singles session.
- Thorbjornsen rolled in a 17-foot putt on Hole 12 for a 6-5 edge and a 15-footer on Hole 15 to close it out, becoming the first TGL player to sink four putts from outside 10 feet in a match.
- The victory ends Boston’s winless inaugural season run and opens Season 2 on level footing with early leaders as TGL’s larger GreenZone, three-hammer limit, signature holes and upgraded AR-camera presentation take full effect.
