Another high-profile "The Match" century showdown came to a successful end, and the combination of Byson De Chambre and Aaron Rogers became the ultimate winners, practicing the harsh words he had let go before the game, and abusing the pair of Mickelson and Tom Brady.

In fact, with six holes left to play, Deshambo and Rodgers were already three holes ahead of their opponents. The pair's MVP combination of the 2020 U.S. Open champion and the NFL seems to have a firm grip on the advantage without giving the opponent a shred of respite. As the oldest Grand Slam champion to date, Mickelson and seven-time Super Bowl champion Tom Brady ultimately failed to fight back, losing the match with a 3-hole, 2-hole win.
Despite a poor start, on the next eight holes, De Chambre and Rodgers combined to capture six birdies and take the lead. However, due to the special rules of the tournament - a single club challenge, Mickelson and Brady had the opportunity to turn the tide again, but brady failed to push the ball into the hole with the No. 7 iron, but Rogers cleverly used the par 16th hole to successfully catch the birdie and seal the victory for the team.
In the post-match interview, Lao Mi said that he and his partner played very well today, caught a lot of birds, and also handed over below par results, but the opponents played better than them.
Deschampeau and Rogers, who became the ultimate winners, certainly did not forget to show off in front of their opponents, after all, this century of duels does not happen every day.
