Club: Tiburon GC
Location: Naples, Florida
Date: December 7-9, 2012
Golf Betting Online: The tournament's host Greg Norman has matched a collection of golf's most successful individual talents into two-man teams as the 22nd annual Franklin Templeton Shootout returns for a 10th time to Tiburon Golf Club at The Ritz-Carlton Golf Resort. Norman recently announced the 24-man field that features 10 Ryder Cup participants and eight players with a PGA TOUR victory this season. As a group, they have amassed 156 total career victories, including eight major championships from seven different players.
Throughout its history, this event has included many of golf's greatest players. The Franklin Templeton Shootout, widely regarded as the PGA TOUR's premier post-season event, will once again feature a modified alternate-shot format during the first round, a better-ball Saturday and a final-round scramble. This year, Golf Channel will televise the first-round action and NBC will broadcast the weekend competition.
Tiburón Golf Club, a WCI managed facility, featuring two Greg Norman-designed golf courses, was carved from 800 acres of prime southwest Florida real estate. The courses reflect Norman’s appreciation for pristine natural settings and his passion for great golf. The Black and The Gold courses contain a combination of stacked sod-wall bunkers and tricky coquina waste bunkers. Certified as an Audubon Cooperative Sanctuary by Audubon International, Tiburón reflects a strong commitment to enhancing and protecting the natural resources.
2011 Franklin Templeton Shootout Winner - Bradley, Steele team for final-round 59
PGA Champion Keegan Bradley and Brendan Steele shot a 13-under 59 in scramble play Sunday to become the first PGA TOUR rookies to win the Franklin Templeton Shootout.
Bradley and Steele took control with an eagle by Steele on No. 14 and a birdie on No. 15, finishing at 32-under 184 for a three-stroke victory over two teams.
"We played well," Bradley said. "We got off to a slow start, kind of like we did all three days, but we played this last stretch of holes really well."
Steele added: "We had so much fun that it made it a lot easier for us."
Bradley and Steele had been talking about playing in Greg Norman's event since the spring, and said they weren't at the three-format event to "goof off."
After sharing the lead with Champions Tour golfers Mark Calcavecchia and Nick Price following the first round of modified alternate shot, they were one ahead of them after Saturday's better-ball.
Calcavecchia birdied No. 18 to give him and Price a 61, moving them into a tie for second at 187 with Rory Sabbatini and Jhonattan Vegas, who shot 60. Charles Howell III and Justin Leonard, and 2009 champions Jerry Kelly and Steve Stricker tied for fourth another shot back.
