PALM BEACH, Fla. – Justin Rose of England and Peter Hanson of Sweden won the Tyco Golf Skills Challenge at the Breakers on Monday.
Rose and Hanson beat recent U.S. Ryder Cup rivals Dustin Johnson and Keegan Bradley in the Reverse Scramble finale to secure the title.
The Reverse Scramble went to two tee-offs before being decided in a chip-off. Hanson chipped to within 2 feet, 10 inches of the hole, beating out Bradley's chip that was 3 feet, 6 inches away.
Rose and Hanson earned $285,000 in the made-for-TV event that will air on NBC in December.
The other two teams that took part in the event were Zach Johnson and Kyle Stanley, and Mark O'Meara and Nick Price.
The six skills were long drive, mid-iron, bunker shot, chip shot, trouble shot and short-iron.
