WATCH: Tony Finau and Lexi Thompson in 'one-club challenge'
Finau takes 9-iron, Lexi, takes 6-iron - who wins?!
Tony Finau and Lexi Thompson may be team-mates at this week's QBE Shootout in Florida, but they were battling each other on Wednesday as they took part in the 'one-club challenge'.
Teeing up on a 362-yard par-4 at Tiburon Golf Club, Finau (one of the longest hitters on the PGA Tour) used a 9-iron, while Thompson (one of the biggest hitters on the LPGA Tour) used a 6-iron.
Finau and Thompson felt they could hit their chosen clubs at least 180 yards to ensure a fair test, and to be able to reach the green in two shots. Watch the video below to see the outcome...
