Atlanta Drive Golf Club vs. Boston Common Golf
Atlanta scores first
Atlanta Drive was the first to score. However, the point was awarded in an unexpected manner, as Boston opted not to take a hammer throw from Atlanta.
Boston wins Hole 6
Boston took advantage of a missed putt by Thomas on Hole 6, narrowing Atlanta’s lead to one point. After two shots, Atlanta was just over 12 feet from the pin, while Boston was nearly 11 feet away. Thomas narrowly missed his putt to the left, allowing Bradley to convert an 11-foot putt for a point.
Gotterup sinks long putt
Gotterup made a significant contribution for Atlanta on Hole 8, sinking a putt that extended his team’s lead to 3-1. Both teams were within 15 feet of the pin after two shots, providing Gotterup and McIlroy with chances to putt for birdie. Gotterup successfully made his attempt, while McIlroy’s putt fell short, just left of the hole.
