Since 1938, the city has been a stage for the greats of the game, from Byron Nelson to Jack Nicklaus, each leaving their mark on the Crescent City Open. Fast forward to the present, and the defending champion Rory Moy, fresh off a career grand slam, partners with Shane Lowry in a high-stakes showdown against the formidable duo of Andrew Novak and Ben Griffin. It's a clash of skill, strategy, and nerves of steel as they navigate the challenging alternate shot format.
The tension is palpable as the players tee off, each shot a test of precision and nerve. Lowry sets the tone with a flawless drive down the left side, showcasing his mastery of the game.
