Billy Horschel made a great putt to complete the Atlanta Drive's comeback win in the second match of the TGL SoFi Cup final on Tuesday night. Horshel blacked out after he sank a 17'10" downhill putt to give the Drive a 4-3 lead on the 14th hole, but what inspired the comeback?

With the Drive trailing late Horschel walked over to the stands to have a short chat with a big fan. That fan was his daughter, who assured him that they could comeback because he's better at singles.

What a great moment, which preceded another great moment.

This is exactly what TGL was meant to do. Show these golfers competing while also giving fans a little glimpse of their personalities. It's hard to watch these two moments from the championship match and not come away liking Horschel a little bit more.
