The duo of Lydia Ko and Jason Day won the inaugural Grant Thornton Invitational, an event filled with PGA Tour and LPGA stars, and they split $1 million for their efforts.
There were two-person teams consisting of one PGA Tour member and one LPGA member at Tiburon Golf Club in Naples, Florida, the home of the LPGA’s season-ending CME Group Tour Championship and former home to the QBE Shootout.
Three formats were used over three days of competition: scramble (Friday, round one), alternate shot (Saturday, round two) and modified best ball (Sunday, round three). Modified best ball is a new format and will make for great entertainment. Each player tees off, then the team switches golf balls and finishes the hole. The lowest score between the two players will count for the team.
Some other notable teams included Tony Finau/Nelly Korda, Rose Zhang/Sahith Theegala, Rickie Fowler/Lexi Thompson and runners-up Brooke Henderon and Corey Conners.
