Brooks Koepka & Bryson DeChambeau on the final hole
Continuing the series of made for TV celebrity matches which started during the pandemic lockdown last summer in USA, the two PGA stars who most resemble heavyweight boxers, Brooks Kopeka and Bryson DeChambeau staged a head to head match in Las Vegas.
The Match, as the series is called, was played as a 12-hole match play event. Koepka won four of the first eight holes to go 4 Up and the final score read 4up with 3 to play with the match ending on the ninth hole.
The Match generated over US$ 3mn for charity and aims to provide over 7 million meals through Feeding America, a U.S. based non-profit organization that is a nationwide network for more than 200 food banks that feed more than 46 million people.

Congratulations @bkoepka on getting the victory at #TheMatch. I am glad to have been a part of such an amazing event that was able to raise over $3,000,000 for charity and provide 7 million meals through Feeding America. It’s great to know what I need to work on for next week.
