Green said she looked at the weekly fact sheet on the LPGA Tour to see which hole was in play for the Risk-Reward Challenge and made sure she practiced and studied her options. She made birdie 74% of the time on the designated holes, she made eagle 9% of the time and she never made worse than par. Green and Matthew Wolff on the PGA Tour were officially honored for the Aon Risk-Reward Challenge, which offers $1 million to the player on each tour who has the lowest average score on a designated par 5 each week.

I think we’ve just clicked kind of since the first day and I really enjoy being around him.” “I thought about a couple coaches and I liked his demeanor. “I know Jess is really good friends with Patrick Cantlay and, I don’t know, I’ve kind of surfed around,” Korda said. Why Mulligan? It starts with her sister, Jessica. Korda said she “surfed around” for a new coach, an appropriate choice of words since Mulligan is a surfer at heart when he’s not doing his day job.
