Novak, Coughlin Win Grant Thornton Invitational With Record 28-Under

The mixed PGALPGA showcase delivered each champion $500,000, the largest check of Coughlin’s career.

Overview

  • Andrew Novak and Lauren Coughlin closed with a bogey-free 9-under 63 in modified four-ball, birdying five of their last six holes.
  • The duo finished at 28-under 188 to set the event’s 54-hole scoring record and win by three shots.
  • Chris Gotterup/Jennifer Kupcho, Nelly Korda/Denny McCarthy, and Michael Brennan/Charley Hull tied for second at 25 under.
  • Novak’s birdie at the par-5 17th after misses by Gotterup and Kupcho proved decisive, and Coughlin added a birdie at 18.
  • The 16-team event used scramble Friday, foursomes Saturday, and modified four-ball Sunday, as Novak added this title to April’s Zurich Classic win with Ben Griffin and joked about a “modern-day grand slam.”
