The afternoon "Closing Drive" champion is Constellation, one of the Event Premiere Sponsors.
Celebrity Herm Edwards (ESPN) helps Dave Ellsworth, Ken Cornew, Joe Nigro and Jack Crowly shoot a round of 56, 14-under par.
Constellation finishes one shot ahead of the Outback Subaru group with celebrity Dr. Lem Burnham and Norris Sales with its celebrity Hugh Green. Burnham (DL) & Green (LB) are both former NFL defensive players.
Super Bowl MVP Joe Flacco is the long drive champion, while two women, Jesse Petrongolo and Luanne Kwelty, take home closest to the pins awards. Here's a look at all your "Closing Drive" award winner.

The stars are always top notch and this year's collection is no different.
Super Bowl MVP Joe Flacco and LPGA member Michelle Wie anchored the afternoon session which also featured Julius "Dr. J" Erving, Herm Edwards and Dr. Lem Burnham.
After Wie hit the ceremonial tee shot to begin the "Closing Drive" scramble, she toured the Atlantic City Country Club and played a few holes. Flacco was a key contributor to his group and took home
top honors in the long drive contest.

Morning Scramble Winners
(l-r) Milner, Esgro, Paolantonio, Slack & Roesler
ESPN's Sal Paolantonio helped Wyanoke win this year's morning Kick-Off Scramble at a blistering 14-under par round of 56.
Wyanoke was composed of Bill Milner, Rob Esgro, Peter Slack and Andy Roesler.
Second place went to Harrah's Resort Team XI led by former Philadelphia Wings Great Jake Bergey after matching cards with the Forester (Subaru) Team. Both teams finished with a 57, but it's Harrah's over Forester (3rd place) and its celebrity Mark Moseley, the 1982 NFL MVP.
Here's a look at all the AM on-course Contest Winners, including former Buffalo Bills WR Andre Reed and his long drive title.
National Pride & Long Drives
Taylor Sings while Joe Flacco & Michelle Wie Listen
Country singer Doreen Taylor gets the afternoon session underway with a beautiful rendition of the Star Spangled Banner.
After Taylor belted out the national anthem, players saw RE/MAX long drive finalist Bobby Bradley belt out 375 yard drives.
Bobby Bradley
Bradley is a former #1 MLB draft pick ('99 Pirates, 8th overall) who, because of an arm injury, now helps raise money for charity golf tournaments.
On the par 5 6th hole, Bradley teed off for every group of the day. If a player knocked in the second shot for an albatross (double eagle) they won a 3-day trip for two (2) to The 2014 Masters.
97.5, The Fanatic host Mike Missanelli reported a lip out from his group for a near hole-in-two, but that's as close as anyone got to claiming the prize.
Bradley's bombs helped raise more than $10,000.

Morgan Miller's Monster Drive
20/10 Solutions Take The Tee
Professional volleyball player & model, Morgan Miller, shows the boys how it's done with a booming drive that literally causes jaws to drop. Not bad since Morgan took up this "easy" game only 6 months ago.
"I'd take Morgan over me in a scramble since she has the advantage of teeing off from the ladies tees" said husband and Olympic Gold Medalist Skier, Bode Miller.
