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.

Masters champion Rory McIlroy and Shane Lowry were the headliners, but come Sunday afternoon the story was Ben Griffin and Andrew Novak, finally becoming first-time winners on the PGA Tour. They took a three-shot lead into Sunday and held on to win by one after shooting 71 in the stressful final-round alternate-shot format.
