Aaron Rodgers is among the many celebrities who descended on Lake Tahoe this week for the annual American Century Celebrity Golf Championship Tournament. Rodgers has been a fixture at the event for years and takes the opportunity to interact with fans and fellow celebrities.

One fan was not so lucky this year as Rodgers pegged him as an "autograph hound." The interaction was caught on video by SI's Gilberto Manzano as the new Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback quizzed the autograph-seeker about a ticket he was trying to get signed, asking him how much he paid and the final score of the game.

Rodgers clearly had his mind made up about the guy as he said that even if he did know the answers, he could have just looked them up. The fan ended up walking away while insisting that he had actually attended the game.

Rodgers was grouped with AJ Hawk and Rob Mac for Friday's round.

Steelers training camp begins on July 24th.
