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.

Andrew Novak and Ben Griffin shot a 1-under 71 in alternate-shot play Sunday to become first-time PGA Tour winners — by one stroke — at the Zurich Classic.

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.
