Some of Hollywood's biggest names joined stars of the sporting world at the Mission Hills World Celebrity Pro-Am golf tournament in China to raise money for charity.

The likes of Nicole Kidman, Jessica Alba, Morgan Freeman and Chris Evans were trained by Ryder Cup stars like British golfers Ian Poulter and Justin Rose. They were also joined by Australian player Greg Norman, better known as the 'Great White Shark'.

With Poulter looking on, Kidman struggled to connect with her drives during the tournament. The tournament was finally won by the English professional Justin Rose with a score of five under-par. And it was double delight for Rose, who also walked out as winner of the Pro-Celebrity category with Chinese film director, Feng Xiaogang.

The tournament saw 24 pro golfers pair-off with celebrities to take part in two rounds over the weekend. The money raised from the star-studded competition will be donated to the World Wildlife Fund and Yao Ming Foundation.
