It's still pretty surprising. Golf is the most difficult sport in the world. If he really didn't start playing until his rookie year in the NFL I am having trouble believing he was able to shoot an honest 33 on nine holes. That's fricking ridiculous.

I'd be willing to bet that 99% of NFL players could quit football right now, pick up golf full time, and still never in their lives card a -3 on the back 9 at Pebble.

I dont doubt he shot a 74. I doubt he did using PGA tour rules (i.e. penalty strokes)

The most impressive thing on that scorecard is the birdie on 14.

Dunno know if that scorecard is from the actual Pebble Beach. Course rating from the blue tees says 74.7. Ain't no damn way Pebble's course rating from the back tees is only 74.

I love PP7 and all but I don't believe this is legit

ETA: he would have cramped up on the back 9

Scorecard appears to be legit but he didn't play the "US Open" tees. Still a damn good score.

Still, that's pretty impressive even with a few mulligans.

Card says the back tee's



6800 yards. Those are just the Men's tees. Still very impressive, but he didn't play from the tournament tees in tournament conditions.

A lot of jelly up in this thread.

Well.

3 under on the back 9 at Pebble Beach from the tips....that's PGA tour level golf.

I'm calling B.S.

It's bs that you guys think he couldn't do it. I live in AZ and have heard more than a few times how good he is playing golf. The course is not always set up to US Open conditions, and I've had a couple people who've played pebble say it's a very fair course and easy to score if you are playing well.

The guy was still 2 over on the round. Golf is very difficult, but much less so for an elite athlete. Plus he really enjoys it so he practices year round. It's not like the guy is saying he's good enough to play a mini-tour.

He likely played solid golf and had a hot stretch and posted a score. Just because you may cheat doesn't mean he did.

You can tell he's serious about golf and want to improve. He jotted down all meaningful stats and even noted which club he hit off the tee. Love to see guys like him fall in love with the game.

i looked him up and I watched a video about a tournament he played in 2014 and said he was a 7 handicap. Showed him teeing off and his swing looks good. He also had a nice chip in. Not saying there were no foot wedges but if he had a good raound I could see it

PP7_2013

Here's a story from a few year's ago that talks about a bunch of things, one being his golf game. Pretty cool article.

Well first off. No he couldn't even sniff the PGA tour even with a ton of practice. Second this is 100% fake.

Since it's posted on his legit Facebook feed, I'll go ahead and say it's 100% legit.

No reason for him to lie.

Lol. There's a lot of reason to post a fake one. He's trying to be the best athlete of all time.
