Some of the best players in the world tore up Erin Hills at the U.S. Open last week with Brooks Koepka tying the championship record by finishing 16-under par – a stellar score in golf’s toughest test. J.J. Watt learned just how difficult the U.S. Open course is on Monday when he was treated to a round at Erin Hills the day after Koepka won his first major.

Watt shared his scorecard after the round, and needless to say, it wasn’t easy going. He shot 117 – the best of his group – including two 10’s in his final four holes.

Here are some of the highlights from his round.

Considering how difficult Erin Hills is, and how deep the fescue is, it’s not a terrible round for a guy who plays football for a living. He’s no Tony Romo or Aaron Rodgers, but Watt isn’t the worst golfer in the world.
