Watched by tennis legend Serena Williams, co-owner of the LA team, England’s Justin Rose and his American teammates Sahith Theegala and former Open champion Collin Morikawa took a 5-0 lead after four holes.

The hammer was barely used in the opening week, but Woods knocked it down before the first ball had been hit Tuesday night, and while the opening hole was halved, LA, who won the second hole, secured double points on holes three and three four .

Rose hit a 10-footer to win the third game, while a Woods miss from 7 feet gave LA two more points.

In the sixth round, Rose hit again from 6 feet and holed his putt amid a cacophony of good-natured boos from a crowd desperate for the home team to take the first point.

“I think it’s great, I love it,” Rose said after hitting a 12-footer to win the eighth in the eighth, and LA was up 8-1 and galloping after another in the ninth. had scored a two-point shot inspired by a hammer.

Theegala was similarly impressed after noticing his ball speed of 184 mph in the stats on the screen after his tee shot on the ninth. “I’ve never done that in a tournament before,” he said, although the expected realization of players wearing microphones was mostly limited to laughter and an attempt to scare off the opponent.

To keep the entertainment value high, “Gold” by Spandau Ballet played while former Olympic champion Rose fired off a shot. Spotlights often flashed across the arena.

Rose competed against Woods in singles, but the sporting competition seemed already over. Woods, who barely played last year, looked out of action, especially on the greens. On the 10th, he three-putted after hitting a 35-foot putt 14 feet beyond the hole.

And Kisner, erratic off the tee, said, “How did I make six?” before conceding the 11th goal to Morikawa when Jupiter trailed 9-1.

Morikawa hit an excellent flop shot from the artificial turf and Rose tried to throw a chip shot straight into the hole from close range as LA showed off his golf skills while Kisner and Homa debated whether to relegate after losing the game could be responsible for being the worst TGL team.

Kisner then provided the late belly laughs on the 14th with a high-handicapper miss from a bunker that crashed into the flagstick and flew over the other side of the green, causing players and fans to run for cover. It was bordering on farcical before he almost sank the 50-foot return shot.

“We honestly didn’t think anyone was going to get hit here,” Woods said. “It was honestly one of the funniest things I’ve ever seen. And then the chip shot, the next one, should have gone in. It was just one of those strange evenings.”

Sports and entertainment in the name of advancing the game.
