Tom Brady had proven to have a far more accurate throwing arm than golf swing through the early stages of the “The Match: Champions for Charity” Sunday in Florida.
Teamed with Phil Mickelson, the Tampa Bay Buccaneers QB did not see much sun in the Sunshine State through the first six holes.
He was taunted by merciless announcer Charles Barkley as his tee shots flew all over the Medalist course. However on the seventh hole the current Tampa Bay Buccaneers quarterback holed a wedge shot — while his microphone slipped and his pants split — to make a birdie at the Hobe Sound, Florida course. The shot came after he needed to take a penalty stroke after an errant tee shot.

The birdie brought a $100,000 donation from Brooks Koepka, who pledged six figures if Brady could par any of the remaining holes on the front nine.
