It might have been good for Tiger Woods that he didn't have to be part of the TGL match Tuesday night.
While he took the night off from competing, his Jupiter Links GC team had no answer for The Bay Golf Club's Min Woo Lee until it was too late.
The Bay built a big lead in triples on the way to a 6-3 victory in a match that was clinched after 13 holes in Palm Beach Gardens, Fla.
'We want to do the best we can and we're all perfectionists,' Lee said.
Even the late-night round didn't deter Lee, who said, 'I'm not used to a 9 p.m. tee time.'
The Bay (4-0), with Lee, Wyndham Clark and Shane Lowry, became the first team in TGL history with two eagles in the same round.
Woods, who's one of the founders of the league, didn't participate with his Jupiter Links team as he ponders the beginning of his PGA Tour schedule. His tour season debut had been pushed back following the death of his mother, Kultida Woods, on Feb. 4 at age 80.
Still, he was on site Tuesday.
Kevin Kisner, Tom Kim and Max Homa represented Jupiter Links (1-3-1).
The Bay already had qualified for the playoffs, so it was just playing for seeding.
Among the celebrities attending was former Golden State Warriors standout Andre Iguodala, a limited partner with The Bay. 'I'm a huge golf fan,' Iguodala said.
Lee, dubbed Dr. Chip-inski, chipped in from just under 25 feet on the sixth hole to put The Bay up 2-1.
'My teammates are leaving me in the right spots, and I feel good about it,' Lee said.
Two holes later, Lee had a chance to win another hole with a chip, but the ball hit the hole and popped out.
Still, his first effort made him the first TGL player with two off-the-green hole-outs.
Oddly, Jupiter Links then tested Lee before his next approach shot, throwing a hammer to double the points on the hole. Following a timeout, Lee's brilliant shot led to The Bay throwing a hammer, making the hole worth three points. Lowry delivered with the 6-foot eagle putt and encouraged the applause that followed.
That put The Bay up 5-1 going into singles matches.
Lee's run of success ended in the opening singles match, with Kim taking the hole when The Bay declined the hammer.
'I thought it was kind of a waste of their hammer,' Clark said. 'I don't know if they used it too well.'
Five of the six hammers were used in triples.
After the match's outcome was determined, Kisner defeated Lowry to give Jupiter Links a potentially valuable point that could help if a tiebreaker were to determine the league's final playoff spot. Clark then won the last hole against Homa, who was competing for the first time since the opening match.
