One-club challenge! Lexi took 4 iron, Rory took 5 wood, Max took 7 wood which left Rose with a 4 hybrid (which Lexi protested, as seen above). Remember, this is for $200,000 with the pushed skin.
Lexi, Rory and Rose found the fairway, but Max immediately removed himself from the hole and found the bunker down the left side (but they couldn’t find his ball). Biz actually found the ball, and Max hit him with a joke about his rather large nose, saying he “sniffed it out.” Classic.
Max ran his ball up short of the gallery near the green, while Lexi ran her shot through the green and into the crowd to the back left. Rose absolutely flagged her approach and left a birdie putt inside 30 feet. Not bad! Rory snapped a hooking shot to the right and also missed the green, but not as far off as Lexi.
“175 (yards), perfect 8 iron,” said McIlroy after his nearly-shanked 5 wood.
Max slapped his approach and ran it well past the hole. Lexi hit a pretty good pitch with her 4 iron about 20 feet past the hole. McIlroy clipped his approach with 5 wood inside 5 feet (but can he put it?). Meanwhile Rose somehow left her “putt” with a hybrid short. Max, Lexi and Rose all missed which left Rory his tap-in birdie to claim the $200,000 skin.
