The 54-hole event employs scramble, foursomes and mixed fourball formats. Heres a breakdown of those three, per tournament officials:
Round 1: ScrambleEach player hits a tee shot and the team selects the ball to be used for the next stroke. From there, both players hit their next shots from that spot. This process continues until the ball is holed.
Round 2: Foursomes (alternate shot)Each teams players alternate hitting shots with the same ball until the ball is holed. One player will tee off on the odd-numbered holes, and the other tees off on the even-numbered holes.
Round 3: Modified fourballBoth players tee off, and then they switch balls for their second shots and play that same ball until it is holed. The lower score of the partners is then counted as the team score for the hole.
Aussies Lydia Ko and Jason Day shot 58-66-66 to win by one shot over Canadians Brooke Henderson and Corey Conners.
The full purse is $4 million with the winning team sharing $1 million.
