Beat the Pro presented by OlyBet returned to the DP World Tour recently at the FedEx Open de France. It gives 15 amateurs the chance to take on the world’s best at the iconic 16th at Le Golf National.
The 2018 Ryder Cup venue has one of the most intimidating finishing stretches in golf. The par-three 16th hole plays a huge role in that. It poses a major test for the professionals at 177 yards and with water all the way down the right.
Phil Mickelson found the water on this hole, handing Francesco Molinari a 4&2 victory. This win pushed Thomas Bjørn’s team to 14.5 points, sealing Europe’s Ryder Cup victory in 2018.
If any amateur could keep their red ball on the green, avoiding the water and outplaying the three professionals in their group, they’d see the green paddle go up. The reward? Two hospitality tickets and two “inside the ropes” experiences for the 2025 FedEx Open de France.
Zack Cowell was one man to do just that. He plays off a handicap of nine.
Six-handicapper Lucie Gutmann, as well as Gabriel Chenu, playing off 14, also struck impressive efforts.
CEO of Olybet, Corey Plummer said that Beat the Pro activation was a thrilling experience for fans to experience inside the ropes competition with DP World Tour golf. He added that they are excited about the collaboration and what Olybet offers sports fans.
