This week is the finale of the Kodak Challenge, where a winner will be crowned on hole #17 at Disney's Magnolia Course at Children's Miracle Network Classic.  From the start at the Mercedes-Benz Classic, through 29 of the most beautiful holes and memorable moments in golf, players have carded scores hoping that their best 18 will be enough to win the $1M prize and the historic title of the very first Kodak Challenge winner.

With the Viking Classic cancelled, Kevin Streelman goes into the finale with a very strong 2-stroke lead, looking likely to be that winner.  Hole #17 on Disney's Magnolia golf course hasn't seen an eagle in years, so there's a very good chance Kevin will be the one grasping the spectacular Kodak Challenge trophy, designed by Tiffany.  The trophy won't be revealed until the winner is crowned - and will have a special added "Kodak" touch - but here's a sneak peek:



Kevin has had some very memorable moments this year, most recently with a dramatic a 41 foot putt for eagle on hole #16 at TPC Summerlin at the Justin Timberlake Shriner's Hospitals for Children Open.  That eagle allowed him to retake the Kodak Challenge lead from J.J. Henry, who had eagled #16 during round 2 to tie Streelman at 14-under-par.   Earlier in the week, Kevin had stopped by the Kodak Fan Photo Zone to visit with fans.  Check out the interview with Kevin from the booth.  Since then, Kevin extended his lead at Frys.com Open.




Hole #17 at Disney is a very difficult Par 4.  I had the opportunity to walk the hole earlier this year, so here is a little video overview of the hole:


Along with the finale action at CMN, Kodak will have a Kodak Fan Photo Zone on Hole #17 where fans can get free souvenir pictures.

Back at home, be sure to tune in to the action on Golf Channel, where fans can play the Photo Challenge and Text-to-win for chances to win great prizes from Kodak, Disney and Golf Channel.
