It's often called "the most fun Pro-AM I've ever played in," for a reason. Our second annual INK Charity Pro-Am featured three-person teams that were then paired with a professional player from the field in our Pairing Party scramble.
Let's take a look back at our fearsome foursomes that competed in this year's Pro-Am!

It turned out to be a Cinderella story finale after all at the 2022 . 16th seed Josee Doyon knocked off the first, eighth, fourth and finally the tenth seed in the Championship Match to take home the $15,000 Champion’s check, her share of the $60,000 overall purse.
Doyon won emphatically, with birdies on six of the last seven holes in the final match against Singapore’s Amanda Tan, the tenth seed. One down in the Championship Match through seven, Doyon squared the match with a birdie on 8. She then birdied on holes 9,11,12,13 and 14 on her way to a 4&3 upset.
Doyon also beat the 4th seed, Ji Eun Baik, 4&3, in the morning’s semifinal match. Baik is a three-time winner on the , of which the PXGWMPC is an official event. Doyon’s toughest match was Saturday afternoon’s quarterfinal match against local favorite 8th seed Auston Kim. That match went the 18-hole distance in a see-saw battle, in which she needed five birdies to overcome the six made by Kim.
The match to decide third and fourth place was a State of Georgia showdown, pitting LPGA veteran Jean Reynolds against Baik. Down since the first hole and eventually 4 down through 11, Baik fought back hard, whittling it to just one down going to 16. Reynolds drained her fourth birdie of the match on 16 and closed out the match on 17 to finish third in the unique match play tournament.
The Final Four – Doyon, Tan, Baik and Reynolds each endured 138 holes during the week, playing 36 holes on Saturday and again on Sunday. In the morning’s semifinal matches, Doyon knocked off Baik 4&3 and Tan beat Reynolds 2&1 to set up the Finals. The last woman standing was Doyon. Â
CONGRATULATIONS to 2022 PXGWMPC Champion Josee Doyon — who receives Flop, our coveted trophy supplied by — and the rest of the Final Four: runner-up Amanda Tan, third place Jean Reynolds, and fourth place Ji Eun-Baik!

What is this Battle Round thing? The PXG Women’s Match Play Championship is unique in many ways, not the least of which is our format. 86 players started on Tuesday in a 36 hole qualifier. 64 advanced to match play, which starts with our Battle Round. 64 players divided into 16 Groups of 4. Each player plays a round robin, one match against the three other players (so, 27 holes today). Here’s where it gets interesting: It’s not necessarily the best won-loss record who advances. Each hole is worth a point. Play all nine holes and there is a bonus point for winning the match. So, each match is worth 10 points….30 points for the day. The player with the most points at the end of the day advances to the Knockout Rounds, traditional match play, starting tomorrow with the Sweet 16. Play hard, ladies.

The stage is set for tomorrow. When the spotlight turns back on, only 64 competitors will be left standing as we head into Friday's round at the breath-taking Slammer & Squire Golf Course in World Golf Village. There, the future superstars of professional women's golf will slug it out in a thrilling tournament format like you've never seen before.
Tomorrow, the will transition from our Stroke Play format to the highly-anticipated Match Play Championship. Here’s the BATTLE PLAN:
Each of the 64 who made it to Match Play have been placed into 16 “Pods” of four. Within their Pod, each player plays one another once in a nine hole match -- and yes, they will play 27 holes tomorrow!
Here’s where it gets interesting: it is not the player with the best won-loss record to advance. ➡️The player who advances is the player with the most points in her pod. ⬅️ They play all nine holes -- regardless of who wins the match, and regardless of which hole she won.
Winning the match *is* still important as the winner gets a bonus point, with each match worth 10 points. The players with the most points in her pod after her three matches advances to the Knock Out Rounds, starting with the Sweet 16 on Saturday morning.
🤳 You can follow the action as it happens on our LIVE SCOREBOARD at PXGWMPC.com, or catch on-the-course LIVE STREAMS throughout the day on the official PXGWMPC Instagram account. 🏌️‍♀️

Today's Final Round of the Stroke Play Qualifier was every bit as thrilling as day one.  Natasha Oon rocketed her way to the top -- thanks to an astounding clean-card, 8 birdie afternoon to close out her 68-64 (-12) performance.  Our overnight leader Bailey Tardy bounced back after a shaky start with a 5-under (31) coming in to grab second place, but it wasn’t enough to catch Oon.  Congratulations to Natasha, our PXGWMPC Stroke Play qualifier winner and now top seed as we enter the Match Play Championship!
