"@trevorimmelman asked what team was going to go out and grab the @zurich_classic victory today and the answer came on the 17th hole when @bengriffingolf poured in a 35 foot birdie on the toughest hole on the course. This win felt inevitable for @andrewnovakgolf after being in contention so often this season. Congratulations to team North Carolina!... Swipe to the third 3rd photo to meet our adoptable pup, Queen, from @animalrescueno today"
