On the broadcast for "The Match 2," Charles Barkley commented that “You can be great at one sport and not great in another sport. I just want America to know that.”
Seconds later, Tom Brady had a chip from just off the green. The ball landed a few feet in front of him and about 40 feet from the hole. It was possibly the most relatable the NFL's GOAT has ever been.

That feeling of relatability didn't last long.
The NFL legend struggled through the first six holes and Barkley began critiquing Brady again, this time directly to the quarterback.
"I've been focusing on football, bro," Brady said. "I'm trying to win a Super Bowl."
Moments later, Brady took his fourth shot on the par-five, seventh hole. He nailed it from deep.

Overall, Brady hasn't had a great showing so far, but that shot certainly helps make up for it.
