The Diamond Resorts Invitational wrapped up Sunday at Four Seasons Orlando. The 54-hole event brought together four members of the LPGA Tour – Brooke Henderson, Brittany Lang, Brittany Lincicome and Lexi Thompson – who competed alongside PGA Tour Champions, celebrities and athletes from throughout the sporting world. This week’s event raised more than a half a million dollars for the Florida Hospital for Children.
PGA Tour Champions' Woody Austin carded a 59 on Friday and won the professional division with 104 points with the modified Stableford system. Two-time MLB All-Star Mark Mulder won the celebrity division with 77 points.
Thompson led her fellow LPGA pros all weekend and entered the final day within striking distance of the lead in a share of ninth. Sunday, the world No.5 played alongside Golf Channel’s Blair O’Neal and the Toronto Blue Jays’ Josh Donaldson. Thompson posted a 67 on Sunday to finish 11th for the week with 83 points.
Thompson's third round scorecard:
Henderson and Lang played together on the final day alongside actor Alfonso Ribeiro, known best for his role in The Fresh Prince of Bel Aire. Henderson carded four birdies and two bogeys en route to a 69, which earned her 24 points on Sunday to finish 24th with 73 points for the week. Lang posted three birdies and two bogeys to card a final round 70 and finish 29th with 66 points for the week.
