Notre Dame Fighting Irish

Nobody can argue against the athleticism of 1987 Heisman Trophy winner Tim Brown.


The former Notre Dame football and Los Angeles/Oakland Raiders megastar was one of the best to ever play the game, college or professionally. 

Yet his most impressive athletic achievement not even have even taken place on a football field.

Brown is participating in the American Century Celebrity Golf Championship in Lake Tahoe this weekend and on Friday, pulled off a golfer's dream - making a hole in one.

For making the first ace of the tournament, Brown won a $200,000 Mastercraft boat. 


Perhaps the craziest part of all of this is that it isn't even Brown's first or second career hole-in-one.  It's at least his third, having already aced holes at Augusta National and TPC Sawgrass.

Not bad for it being his second sport.
