Gretzky And Nallen Capture Charity Pro-Am On Nationide Tour In South Carolina
Hockey legend Wayne Gretzky and pro partner Chris Nallen capped off a dominating week in the team competition of the BMW Charity Pro-Am in Greenville, SC on Sunday. The pair shot scores of 59-59-60-62 over three sites nd finished at 46-under par, two shots better than the runner-up team of musician Javier Colon and Colt Knost, winner of last week’s Fort Smith Classic. Gretzky and Nallen shared the first-round lead and held the outright lead after each subsequent round.
“I had a blast. I played with the best hockey player ever,” said Nallen, a devoted New York Ranger fan who finished T18 this week. “I left a few shots out there but overall I’m very pleased with the way we played.” Nallen grew up in the New York area and now lives in Tucson, AZ where he played college golf for the University of Arizona.
Gretzky, as low celebrity in the field, collects a brand new automobile and will have $10,000 donated to the charity of his choice. He remains one win behind his wife, Janet Jones-Gretzky, who has twice been the low celebrity over the past four years.
“No, no bragging rights,” said Gretzky. “We weren’t playing to win, we were just playing to have fun. This is a great tournament and we’re looking forward to next year.”
