Billy Horschel, Atlanta Drive dish out March Madness heartbreak in TGL final

Billy Horschel, Atlanta Drive dish out March Madness heartbreak in TGL final

If the legendary Bill Raftery called Game 2 of the inaugural TGL finals, he would have let loose his most recognizable saying after Billy Horschel drained a birdie putt on the 14th hole:

“ONIONS!!!”

That famous line references a big-time bucket made late in a game, a shot that sends your opponent home crying. Horschel did just that. After throwing the hammer, Horschel’s birdie gave his Atlanta Drive side two points and a 4-3 advantage over New York with one hole to play. Patrick Cantlay, Horschel’s teammate, then birdied the final hole, a par-5, to seal the deal and win the first-ever SoFi Cup trophy.

“Walking away when the ball was about two feet knowing it was going in,” Horschel said on ESPN after.

“I don’t remember throwing the putter down, and I remember saying it was my effin’ house. That was it. And I said it repeatedly multiple, multiple times. Sorry, hopefully you hit that eight-second delay button on there.”

Horschel’s make on the 14th hole was the longest putt he had made during the TGL season, per Justin Ray. It was no slouch, either. It had to traverse down the slope, breaking to his right to start. It then had to break back left as it got around the hole, a tricky double-breaker of epic proportions. Horschel made it look easy, though, celebrating as if he had just clinched the Ryder Cup for Team USA.

“I think you’ve got to embrace what this is. This is something that’s different than what we play every week of the year. We want to come in here and compete. We want to come in here and entertain. That’s what this is about,” Horschel added.

“I think we do a great job of that. We’re yin and yanging off each other. None of us is afraid to step back and let someone else lead in that moment. So we do a great job of feeding off each other, and it’s been great to be with all three of these guys.”
