Team “Fi-Nelly” paced the field during Friday’s opening round of scramble, but struggled more in Saturday’s alternate shot format, posting a 70. In the final round, the tournament will employ a modified version of four-balls which asks each player to play and hole out with their partner’s drive.
“I think we have a good beat on each other’s golf ball at least,” Finau said. “I got to hit a couple of— used her golf ball a couple times and vice versa. So whatever the game plan is, bombs and bombs on the greens and bombs off the tee, that’s what we’re looking tomorrow.”
While stakes are high for Finau, they could be even higher for Korda as the Grant Thornton’s split $1 million first-place prize represents the highest winner’s check on the LPGA Tour all year, other than the five majors and CME Group Tour Championship.
With that, here’s the total breakdown of the Grant Thornton’s $4 million purse.
