To make matters worse, the rookie’s shot bounced back into the bunker. Boston lost the hole, giving LA a 1-0 lead.\n\n\n

Rory ties the score for Boston<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n

After Rose missed a shot, LAGC declined a “hammer throw”, giving the point to Boston and tying the match 1-1.\n\nTheegala scores from 70 feet<\/strong>\n\nTheegala pressured Boston Common on the 4th hole, achieving an impressive shot from just over 70 feet. The shot put Los Angeles in a position to extend their lead, so the team used the “hammer” to make the hole worth two points.\n\n
