Pau Gasol, results
With a tree just a couple of meters away, the two-time winner of the NBA championship ring made an impact worthy of any professional player who ended up just a few meters from the hole. Pau was unforgiving and safely holed the subsequent putt to continue his sensational performance.
His evolution, after only a few months of golf practice, is very positive and on multiple holes it was his ball that scored points compared to his partner's, the professional Mark Hubbard, with whom he managed to finish in the tenth position.
The final victory was Ben Silverman and NFL player Aaron Rodgers (-25), with three strokes behind Malnati and businessman Don Colleran. Pau Gasol Sáez is a Spanish former basketball player.
