The second match of TGL’s season season took place on Friday night at the SoFi Center and featured Boston Common Golf and Los Angeles Golf Club and it wound up marking both league and franchise history for one side of the equation.
Boston outlasted L.A. and in doing so picked up their first ever match victory as a franchise. It was strange that they went all of last season without any, but they are officially undefeated after their second season debut.
From a roster standpoint the Boston half featured Rory McIlroy and Keegan Bradley with Michael Thorbjornsen in as an alternate. Justin Rose, Collin Morikawa, and Sahith Theegala rounded out the L.A. side.
Here is a recap of the scoring and how it unfolded.
As this was the first ever win for Boston Common Golf it marked the first TGL victory for one specific individual in Rory McIlroy. This particular match was Rory’s first in TGL since winning the Masters last year, so perhaps accomplishing the Career Grand Slam really did serve as a breakthrough.
TGL is back next Tuesday at 4:00pm CT with The Bay Golf Club taking on Atlanta Drive GC (1-0).
