The two teed up at the 17th hole tee box which was changed for the round instead of what they thought which was the 9th tee.

Stenson explained how the two just put their heads down after the 8th hole and made their way to the 9th tee box as it was the tee box for the 9th hole all week until Sunday.

Viktor Holvand took home the trophy posting a 6-under on Sunday for a combined 18-under for the tournament.

Henrik Stenson finished in 19th with a score of 1 – over. Jordan Spieth placed in 20th, which was last place, with a 6 over for the tournament.
