The weather threatened to dampen spirits, but fans flocked to Grand Blanc to enjoy professional golf action. The event schedule started with a Pro-Am on Thursday afternoon. Thunderstorms postponed Friday’s first round of official competition until Saturday, when they played catch-up with a very early start time. When play concluded, the fan-favorite charity Celebrity Challenge on Holes 17 and 18 featured golf’s greatest champion Jack Nicklaus, legendary Red Wings player Darren McCarty, former Detroit Tigers pitcher Dave Rozema and other sports greats. Attendees also enjoyed two concerts: Don Felder on Friday and the Community Concert on Saturday starring Miranda Lambert, followed by an exciting drone show. On Sunday morning, Zehnders offered complimentary chicken & waffles and that afternoon, three-time major champion Vijay Singh came from behind to win his first Champions Tour victory in almost five years. The World Golf Hall-of-Famer now has won four times at Warwick Hills, including three Buick Opens.
