The TGL playoffs are set, but the road to get there was nothing short of dramatic! Jupiter Links secured their spot in the postseason with a thrilling 9-6 victory over The Bay, leaving fans on the edge of their seats until the very end.
The stage was set for an intense showdown:
Jupiter Links and The Bay Golf Club faced off in a do-or-die game to conclude the regular season. With a playoff berth on the line, the pressure was palpable. Jupiter Links' squad included Max Homa, Tom Kim, and Kevin Kisner, while The Bay countered with Wyndham Clark, Min Woo Lee, and Ludvig Åberg.
And the action delivered!
The Bay took an early lead, but Jupiter Links had other plans. After a slow start, Tom Kim stepped up on Hole 6, sinking a crucial putt to put his team on the scoreboard. This was just the beginning of Kim's heroics.
But here's where it gets exciting: Lee responded for The Bay with a jaw-dropping putt on Hole 9, extending their lead. From 37 feet and 11 inches, he drained the second-longest putt in TGL history! The crowd went wild.
As the match progressed, Jupiter Links fought back, and Kim continued his stellar performance. On Hole 13, he set the stage for a dramatic finish. With Jupiter Links upping the ante on Hole 14, Kim delivered a moment that will go down in TGL history. He hit a hole-in-one from 138 yards, giving his team the lead and sending the crowd into a frenzy. This was only the second hole-in-one ever recorded in the TGL!
And this is the part most people miss: The Bay had also recorded a hole-in-one earlier in the season, a fascinating coincidence.
With Jupiter Links now in the lead, it was up to Kisner to seal the deal. He did not disappoint, sinking a 13-foot putt to secure the win and a spot in the playoffs.
