Men, women alternating tee times at co-sanctioned Vic Open

Spectators will get a flavor of the diversity offered up at the ISPS Handa Vic Open when the men and women begin play Thursday morning at the 13th Beach Golf Links in Victoria, Australia.

Fans at the 10th tee will get to see Karrie Webb, Ryo Ishikawa, Paula Creamer, Andrew “Beef” Johnston, Minjee Lee, Georgia Hall and Pernilla Lindberg going off in groupings stacked together on the Creek Course, beginning at 7:30 a.m. local time (3:30 p.m. Wednesday, ET).

The only tour event in the world featuring men and women playing the same courses at the same time for the same amount of prize money is co-sanctioned for the first time by the European Tour and the LPGA.
