Tom Brady sinks epic fairway shot in The Match vs. Tiger Woods, Manning

Tom Brady is arguably the best quarterback to ever play football. He has six Super Bowl rings to prove it. And he's pretty good on the golf course too. The former Michigan Wolverine proved he has a sweet swing while teamed up with Phil Mickelson against Tiger Woods and Peyton Manning in a nationally televised round termed The Match II: Champions for Charity at Woods' home course, the Medalist GC in Hobe Sound, Florida. On the seventh hole, a par 5 of 515 yards, Brady was hacking his way around until commentator Charles Barkley talked trash about his poor play. So, of course, Brady holed out on his fourth shot from the fairway for birdie, then told Barkley: “Chuck, take a suck on that, Chuck.” “That’s why you’re the GOAT,” Barkley said laughing. Even funnier: Brady ripped his pants taking the ball out of the cup. Fore please. Woods' eagle putt lipped out, and the hole was halved, with Woods and Manning 3 up. Then on the 11th hole, a par 4 of 330 yards, Mickelson drove the green, his ball coming to rest on the fringe, and Brady sunk the eagle putt from about 30 feet, cutting the deficit to 2 down. The back nine is alternate shot; the front nine was best ball format. Brady, 42, left the New England Patriots after 20 seasons in March to sign a free-agent deal with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.
