How the comeback unfolded: momentum, Hammer plays and clutch shots

The Bay jumped out in front early, taking a 2-0 lead through the first five holes after Jupiter failed to get up and down from a greenside bunker at the opener and The Bay birdied the par-5 team hole "Bay Breaker. " A late run from The Bay extended the lead to 4-2 when Min Woo Lee holed a 38-foot eagle putt at the ninth to send the match into Singles with The Bay ahead.

From there, The Bay continued to press. Wyndham Clark and Ludvig Åberg combined to stretch the margin, with Clark making a 16-footer on "The Last Toll" to push the advantage to 6-3. The Bay also benefited when Lee made a 15-foot birdie at "Alpine, " and when momentum looked to be fully on their side, Jupiter began chipping away.

• Hole 6: Tom Kim sparked a rally with an 18-foot birdie.
• Hammer sequence earlier: Jupiter threw the Hammer when The Bay faced an 11-foot chance to match; The Bay declined that opportunity.
• Hole 13: Jupiter threw the Hammer before tee shots, forcing The Bay to accept; Homa responded with a massive birdie for a two-point swing.
• Hole 14 ("On the Rocks"): With the Hammer in play, Tom Kim aced the par-3 to seize a 7-6 lead for Jupiter.

The sequence of Hammer plays and clutch short-game execution flipped the match. Jupiter capitalized on missed opportunities from The Bay—most notably a missed landing area on a par-3 tee shot by Åberg that allowed Jupiter to win the hole and tie the match at 2-2 earlier in the contest.

Emotions ran high after the finishing putt. Tom Kim reflected on the celebration as a release after a lot of practice and restraint, while another team leader called the scene "absolutely epic, " praising the competitive fight displayed by both sides down the stretch.
