If the legendary Invoice Raftery known as Recreation 2 of the inaugural TGL finals, he would have let unfastened his most recognizable saying after Billy Horschel drained a birdie putt on the 14th gap:
“ONIONS!!!”
That well-known line references a big-time bucket made late in a sport, a shot that sends your opponent residence crying. Horschel did simply that. After throwing the hammer, Horschel’s birdie gave his Atlanta Drive aspect two factors and a 4-3 benefit over New York with one gap to play. Patrick Cantlay, Horschel’s teammate, then birdied the ultimate gap, a par-5, to seal the deal and win the first-ever SoFi Cup trophy.
“Strolling away when the ball was about two toes figuring out it was stepping into,” Horschel mentioned on ESPN after.
“I don’t bear in mind throwing the putter down, and I bear in mind saying it was my effin’ home. That was it. And I mentioned it repeatedly a number of, a number of occasions. Sorry, hopefully you hit that eight-second delay button on there.”
Horschel’s make on the 14th gap was the longest putt he had made in the course of the TGL season, per Justin Ray. It was no slouch, both. It needed to traverse down the slope, breaking to his proper to begin. It then needed to break again left because it bought across the gap, a difficult double-breaker of epic proportions. Horschel made it look straightforward, although, celebrating as if he had simply clinched the Ryder Cup for Group USA.
“I believe you’ve bought to embrace what that is. That is one thing that’s completely different than what we play each week of the yr. We need to are available in right here and compete. We need to are available in right here and entertain. That’s what that is about,” Horschel added.
“I believe we do an incredible job of that. We’re yin and yanging off one another. None of us is afraid to step again and let another person lead in that second. So we do an incredible job of feeding off one another, and it’s been nice to be with all three of those guys.”
