Rogers was paired with Ben Silverman (USA).
Silverman wrote 1 over par for three days. It means that Rogers contributed a lot to the 26 under par.
Rogers, who won MVP four times while playing in the NFL, is already a person with a reputation for golfing skills comparable to that of a professional player.
In 2021, he teamed up with Bryson Dishambo (USA) to compete in a one-day golf confrontation’The Match’ against Phil Mickelson (USA) and NFL star Tom Brady (USA) and won.
Rogers was delighted, saying, “It was a goal I really wanted to achieve in my life.”
The tournament was originally scheduled to be held as a 72-hole round of 4 rounds, but due to bad weather, the progress of the tournament was disrupted, so the amateur players covered the rankings with the results of round 3 of 54 holes.
Soccer star Gareth Bale (Wales), who received attention, recorded 16 under par and 199 strokes, finishing in a tie for 16th place.
Bale, who said, “I received a lot of praise, but the burden was enormous,” said Bale about his partner Joseph Bramlitt (USA), saying, “The strength and ball touch were on a different level from (me),” he said about the performance of PGA Tour players. I was amazed.
