[ASFN Admin]

PALM BEACH GARDENS — Atlanta Drive won the SoFi Cup Tuesday night, rallying to defeat New York Golf Club 6-3 to cap TGL's inaugural season.

Billy Horschel made a clutch putt - his longest of the season - on the 14th hole after New York threw the hammer to give Atlanta a 4-3 lead, its first of the night. Patrick Cantlay then iced the win on the 15th hole with a long putt (that was conceded).

Atlanta won Monday night's first match 6-5 on Patrick Cantlay's winning point against Xander Schauffele on the final singles hole after Schauffele's tying putt lipped out of the cup.

In Tuesday's match, the teams remained scoreless - with putts repeatedly lipping out - until New York broke through on the seventh hole.
