Los Angeles Golf Club secured a playoff spot in dramatic fashion, overcoming a 4-0 deficit on the 12th tee to defeat New York Golf Club in overtime. With just a 2% chance of winning at that stage, LAGC pulled off the most improbable comeback in TGL presented by SoFi history, sealing a thrilling 5-4 victory.

The win guarantees Los Angeles a top-four finish in the SoFi Cup Standings and couldn’t have been scripted more dramatically.

Sahith Theegala sparked the rally with a clutch 28-foot birdie putt at the 12th, keeping LAGC’s hopes alive. Then, Tony Finau—playing on a one-match contract in place of Justin Rose and Tommy Fleetwood—stepped up on the par-4 13th after Los Angeles activated the Hammer, doubling the hole’s value.

The stunning comeback cements LAGC’s place in the playoffs and adds another unforgettable moment to TGL history.

That was one for the books! I mean, Collin Morikawa tying it up was the cherry on top for sure!

Now that LA clinched a playoff spot, who do you guys think has the edge going forward? New York is still in it too.

With this momentum, I think LA has a good shot! But you can’t count New York out yet. It’s still tight.

Yeah, New York still got a point from that match, so they’re not totally out. Should be interesting!
