For those unaware, The Luck of the Draw challenge involves two golfers picking golf balls from a bag. The golf balls the golfers pick contain which club they must use, which makes the challenge complicated. In the end, the golfer with the lowest score wins the challenge.

While the video did not reveal who won the challenge between Lowry and MacIntyre, the two golfers were seen enjoying and coming up with creative solutions while using clubs determined by a golf ball. This challenge between the two golfers took place on the 18th hole at Yas Links.
