Bryson DeChambeau and Aaron Rodgers were victorious in the fourth edition of “The Match,” beating the team of Phil Mickelson and Tom Brady Tuesday at The Reserve Golf Course at Moonlight Basin in Big Sky, Montana. Entering the charity golf event as sizable favorites, DeChambeau and Rodgers played up to expectations.

The 2020 U.S. Open Champ and 2020 NFL MVP won with relative ease, defeating Mickelson and Brady 3 and 2. Rodgers clinched the win with a birdie putt on the 16th hole.

"I haven't been playing a lot of golf. I'm just a pretty good putter," Rodgers said. "I said, 'Give me (where) I'm on the green. Don't give me inside 60 yards. First hole today, he got me (inside 60). I chunked it up there and he made it. From that point forward, I felt good about our chances."

The Match was even on the front nine as the teams traded leads. Things changed from holes 10-12, where Rodgers and DeChambeau went 3-up and never looked back.

“I’m channeling my inner Charles Barkley,” Brady joked when he shanked a tee shot on the 13th hole as his team’s chances of pulling off a comeback began to fade away.

Brady and Mickelson remain winless as a team. They are now 0-2 in The Match. The 2021 Super Bowl MVP and 2021 PGA Championship winner were beaten by Tiger Woods and Peyton Manning in The Match II last year.

The event helped raise 6.3 million meals for Feeding America. It also raised $2.6 million for My Brother's Keeper, an initiative launched by President Obama to address persistent opportunity gaps faced by boys and young men of color.
