Top Seed, One Playoff Spot
The Bay and Los Angeles both clinched a playoff spot earlier, as did Atlanta Drive GC. That leaves New York, Jupiter and Boston fighting for the fourth and final postseason spot in the SoFi Cup Standings.
While The Bay already knew it was heading to the postseason prior to Tuesday’s match against Jupiter, the 6-3 victory moved TBGC to 4-0 on the season and upped the ante for their coming matchup with Los Angeles.
Now the winner of Monday’s showdown will earn the No. 1 overall seed entering the postseason - Los Angeles is just one point behind The Bay with an Overtime loss to Atlanta the only blemish on its record.
“Just to know we’ve clinched that (playoff) spot and we have a chance at the title – playoff sports is a whole different beast, so we’re ready for it,” Los Angeles’ Sahith Theegala said. “Super excited. ... These matches go fast. That’s what makes it more intense and exciting is how important each and every shot, each and every point, each and every hole is.”
The second match of the night is a must-win for both New York and Boston, with both teams still alive in the postseason race. New York has the clearest path of the three postseason hopefuls – all they have to do is beat the Ballfrogs Monday to lock up the fourth spot.
Boston would still need additional help to sneak into the playoffs even with a win over New York. The Ballfrogs would then need Atlanta to beat Jupiter on Tuesday and open the door for a tiebreaker scenario, which is total holes won on the season. There are no more ‘next time’s’ for either team, and we’ll see who comes out on top with the playoffs now in full view.
