The event, held with tennis legend Serena Williams and Super Bowl champions Avonte Maddox and Dallas Goedert in attendance, created a buzz at the venue.
LAGC's Sahith Theegala, Collin Morikawa, and Tony Finau spearheaded their team through the initial match, while notable players Tommy Fleetwood and Justin Rose opted to sit out. The match attracted significant attention, with esteemed golfer Jason Day also present. The Los Angeles Golf Club's unexpected triumph highlighted the unpredictable nature of the game and set an exciting tone for the season.
The second match of the doubleheader saw Boston Common clashing with Atlanta Drive Golf Club. Boston Common aimed for its first win of the year after a previous loss to New York Golf Club.
