The games at the maiden tourney Grant Thornton Invitational have been pretty intense. Players have been raking the greens in a neck-to-neck competition and landing themselves at the T4 position after Day 2 play. The pair Lexi Thompson and Rickie Fowler have turned heads with their comeback performance. 

However, it doesn’t end there. The golfers’ style statement has been another showstopper at the event. Both players are working with Puma and have been seen wearing matching game outfits on the greens. After the second day performance, Thompson claimed a color after playfully picking on Fowler’s iconic fashion choices.
