Tour Championship Charity Challenge: Justin Rose and Five-Time MLB All-Star Win the Celebrity Event
Follow Us
Justin Rose and Andruw Jones have won the Tour Championship Charity Challenge. They were competing against Warrick Dunn and Mariah Stackhouse. Since the format used was a scramble match play, Rose needed a chip to register a victory. And safe to say, he did that to perfection.
In scrambling format, all players from both teams play a shot, and then the players decide which shot they like better. And then the other player plays the ball from that spot. The person whose shot they did not take picks up his ball and moves it to within one club-length of the selected spot.
A nine-hole scramble match at East Lake golf club, the charity event took place on the back nine and primarily benefit the East Lake Foundation. And since Justin Rose didn’t qualify for the FedExCup playoffs, he agreed to play at the event.
