Atlanta Drive Golf Club leads the TGL finals 1-0 after a narrow 6-5 win over New York Golf Club in the first match of the best-of-three series.
Patrick Cantlay clinched the victory with a clutch 6-foot birdie putt on the final hole, while Xander Schauffele's missed putt sealed New York's defeat.
The finals feature innovative gameplay elements such as 'Hammers,' which double the value of a hole, adding a strategic layer to the competition.
