Match Recap

A Tied Match Decided by Pressure, Not Just Putts

The finale pits two three-person teams against each other in 3v3 alternate-shot match play, with a stated one-million-dollar prize on the line. The match stays close throughout, swinging on individual hot streaks and a pair of mid-round rules disputes as much as on the golf itself. By the back nine, the outcome comes down to the final hole, where a mis-hit chip finds the water and decides the match.
