It seems like a movie script, like it's not real,” Novak said. “But it's just perfect how it all came together.” The Zurich Classic is a 72-hole stroke play format featuring four-ball (best ball) during the first and third rounds and foursomes (alternate shot) during the second and fourth rounds.

Andrew Novak and Ben Griffin shot a 1-under 71 in alternate-shot play Sunday to become first-time PGA Tour winners — by one stroke — at the Zurich Classic.

The Zurich Classic of New Orleans was the ultimate redemption story with Novak and Griffin emerging victorious in the PGA Tour's lone team event.
