Eric Church recently teed it up at the Pebble Beach Pro-Am, playing with pro Sam Burns.

They finished middle-of-the-pack at 11 under, which is pretty good, but you wouldn’t know it from the video the PGA Tour posted.

He was in a group with six-time NBA All-Star Pau Gasol, and one of Eric’s shots almost HIT him.

He got out of the rough, but it went a little more right than expected and it just missed Pau by a few feet.

He probably should have yelled “fore” bBut he made up for it with a pretty good line right after… “If you can’t beat ’em . . . kill ’em.”
