“Almost not counting,” Rodgers replied as he rushed to the tee box.

It was one of two viral moments that the four-time NFL MVP had with fans during the tournament.

On Saturday, Rodgers refused to sign an autograph after he asked the man for one passport he threw in a game in 2005 when he was still a backup to Brett Favre with Green Bay Packers. The tab claimed he had a ticket from the game.

The fan could not name the player Rodgers threw a care when the quarterback asked. Rodgers then refused to sign something for him and declared him an “autograph dog.”

Rodgers ended 15. In the American Century Championship Golf Tournament with a Stableford score of 44.

Former NHL star Joe Pavelski won the tournament with a 73. He defeated Baseball Hall of Famer John Smoltz, who previously told Pakinomist digital that he was doing well with his chances of winning the tournament.
