As he mulls his NFL future, Aaron Rodgers — who was paired with Ben Silverman — can celebrate having won the amateur portion of the 2023 Pebble Beach Pro-Am. However, one established professional golfer isn’t a fan of the path Rodgers took to notch his victory.
At the end of the tournament, Keith Mitchell stood in front of the podium to discuss his and his partner Josh Allen’s performance. Mitchell wasted no time maintaining that he and Allen — who finished in fourth at -22 — actually won the whole thing.
Why?
Mitchell thought Rodgers’ handicap was “crap” and, as such, invalidated anything he accomplished on the course at Pebble Beach. And it doesn’t seem like he was joking at all:

Phew. To assert Rodgers’ winning results don’t matter because of his handicap from the get-go is … well, some straight heat!
If only we could get Mitchell’s honesty on Rodgers considering his long-term pro football plans yet again. Something tells me that would be a popcorn-worthy affair.
