Rodgers did his fair share of the heavy lifting. Silverman, fresh from a Korn Ferry Tour victory, finished at 1-over 216, but missed the cut. Rodgers played off a 10-handicap and said he hadn’t played since training camp on Monday.
They finished at 26-under par and 1 shot ahead Peter MalnatiDon Colleran (retired president and CEO of FedEx), whose name is already on the wall.
Buffalo Bills quarterback Josh AllenAnd Keith Mitchell were 4 behind.
Rodgers stated that Josh Allen had told him there would be an asterisk after this win, as there were only three rounds. But I believe our names will be up there for quite a while.
