Return to Golf Involves Oklahoma

 

We had some live sports to watch on TV on Sunday/

There were some major Oklahoma ties in golf, as former Oklahoma State Cowboy golfers Rickie Fowler and Matthew Wolff took on Dustin Johnson and Rory Mcllroy in a match-play skins event at the Seminole Golf Club in Florida for charity.

It was the first live golf that has been televised since the first round of the Players Championship, which was eventually canceled because of COVID-19.

The TaylorMade Driving Relief match-ended with a walk-off wedge shot for Mcllroy and Johnson that won their team just over $1million  for the American Nurses Foundation.

The event was tied after 18-holes. The teams played a closest-to-the-pin competition to decide the ultimate winner.

Fowler almost singlehandedly kept the Pokes in it, making seven birdies in his first 16 holes, including this one on No. 11.

In total, more than $5,503,000 was raised for charity during the day.

The PGA Tour has events scheduled soon, as golf has vowed to return on June 11.
