What is the story about?
Last year at the Grant Thornton Invitational, Andrew Novak called Lauren Coughlin the most reliable golfer he's ever played with.
The victorious pair each took home a $500,000 paycheck
at Tiburon Golf Club in Naples, Florida, the largest check of Coughlin's career. Their 28-under total set a record for the event after a closing 63 in the modified four-ball format. Coughlin and Novak birdied five of the last six holes.This year the winning duo will return to defend their title, Dec. 11-13, in Naples, Florida. Event officials released the first batch of team pairings on Wednesday and all three are returning partnerships. In all, there will be 16 two-person teams of one PGA Tour player and one LPGA player.
