Finau became the first player in TGL history to sign a one-match deal after Los Angeles Golf Club needed a man because Justin Rose and Tommy Fleetwood had overseas commitments. He got the proverbial call from the bullpen, and he turned out to be the closer.

Tony Finau’s TGL debut started with a dance and ended with a sensational come-from-behind finish. Since Justin Rose and Tommy Fleetwood had prior commitments, Finau signed a one-match contract with the Los Angeles Golf Club to play in Monday’s match against New York.

He who masters the flat stick has an edge in TGL. But he who throws the hammer at the right moment wins TGL. LA Golf Club, down 4-0, rallied for a late, dramatic overtime win over New York Golf Club in the first of two Monday night TGL matchups.
