The Kelce Brothers have flattered to deceive at the American Century Championship, as they combined for -61 points to rank in the bottom half of the leaderboard, while Jets quarterback Aaron Rodgers finished in 15th place. 

On Sunday, Jason, who was playing in Lake Tahoe for the first time ever, started and ended the third round in 87th place out of a possible 89. He scored -14 and wrapped up rounds one and two with a score of -24 and -13, respectively.

Only former Yankees slugger Alex Rodriguez (-59) and American meteorologist Dylan Dreyer (-64) were ranked lower than the former Philadelphia Eagles center. 


Fox News reporter Bret Baier withdrew from the celebrity golf tournament after two rounds.

On the other hand, Travis started the final round in 55th place before dropping seven spots to 63rd place, as he scored -10 overall but -11 on the day. Through the first two rounds, the Chiefs tight end had a respective score of -2 and 3.

Rodgers, who injured a spectator in the first round, finished in the top 20 (15th) at the American Century Championship, climbing nine spots after starting the day in 24th place.

The 40-year-old totaled a score of 46 after emerging from the third round with -24 on the leaderboard. 

In his first two rounds, Rodgers had scores of 10 and 12, respectively.

Former tennis player Mardy Fish won the tournament after birdying nine of his final 13 holes on Saturday to take a seven-point lead into the final round. 

Fish eventually had a 26-point round at Edgewood Tahoe on Sunday. Players receive a point for par, three for birdie and six for eagle and two points are deducted for double bogey or worse.

'It just felt like, today sometimes you have those rounds where you go behind your ball and look at the putt or whatever and you see it, like, right away' said Fish, the 2020 winner. 'And I had a lot of those today.' 

NHL player Joe Pavelski was second after a 29-point day.

'You're trying to stay connected to Mardy,' said Pavelski, the Dallas Stars forward who said he's likely retiring after 18 NHL seasons. 'We can kind of hear what's going on back there.'

Annika Sorenstam was third at 68 after scoring 27 points on Sunday.

Charles Barkley was tied 58th with -4 points after a -7 day.
