Former Heisman trophy winner Sam Bradford and friend qualify for U.S. Amateur Four-Ball
He won the Heisman trophy. He played for four NFL teams over a nine-year pro career. Now, Sam Bradford is making waves in the sport of golf.
The USGA posted on social media Thursday that Bradford will compete in the U.S. Amateur Four-Ball tournament, which starts Saturday on two different golf courses in New Jersey.
Bradford has teamed up with Ben Bench, a friend since childhood, growing up in Oklahoma. Bradford later won the Heisman Trophy with the Oklahoma Sooners before becoming the first overall pick of the St. Louis Rams in 2010. The pair earned their spot in the 10th rendition of four-balls in a qualifier last August.
The USGA notes that Bradford joins a list of other former professional athletes to qualify for this event, including Tony Romo, Kyle Williams, Danny Woodhead and Billy Joe Tolliver from the NFL and former Major League Baseball pitcher Erik Hanson.
