Rollins was still down the ranking while the tournament started again on Sunday. The former NHL star, Joe Pavelski, and the former male football star Taylor Twellman, were in the running for the head with the musical artist Country Jake Owen and the wide receiver of the Panthers of Caroline Adam Thielmen.
The tournament has been played every year for over 30 years. The event is a stable format of 54 holes in which golfers earn points for each hole depending on the peer score. The golfer who reaches the most points wins. The tournament also collects funds for local charitable organizations.
