1 Kipp Popert against Ferrari driver Carlos Sainz and recent G4D winner Tomasso Perrino, it saw Djokovic swap racket for club – eventually.
Sainz could not match the feat, the Spaniard wincing as his opening effort skewed towards the rough.
That trend followed over the contest’s course, the highlight coming at the par four 16th when Djokovic boomed a laser-like drive 260 yards from tee to green.
“I’m really happy they did because I wanted to go safe.”Djokovic reacts as spectators cheer his tee shot on the 16th hole during the All-Star Match on September 27.
Jamie Squire/Getty ImagesAfter sailing to a 3-1 victory, Djokovic was full of praise for Poppert, who clinched his third consecutive G4D victory – and eighth overall – at the BMW PGA Championship earlier this month.
