"I noticed I was a little rusty because, with teaching and coaching, I have had little time to practice," Strudwick said. "My course management was a little off, but I hit well. Overall, I am very pleased with how I played."
The inaugural event will take place at the Chicago Golf Club in Wheaton, Illinois from July 12-15. The final two days will be televised on FS1 starting at 4 p.m. EDT.
