"Finally took home a win at American Family Insurance Championship" - Derek Jeter and Hall of Fame golfer Juli Inkster outscore competition and win the charity golf tournament
Derek Jeter, a former New York Yankees legend, and Juli Inkster, a Hall of Fame golfer, beat out the opposition to win the American Family Insurance Championship at University Ridge Golf Club on June 11, 2022, in Madison, Wisconsin.
They played against professional golfers Andy North and former NFL quarterback Brett Favre. Despite the fact that Derek Jeter and Juli Inkster were triumphant, they were all competing for a good cause -- to raise money for the charity.
"Finally took home a win at @amfamchampionship with @juliinkster. Great tournament for a great cause with Juli, Andy, @brettfavre and all the fans!" -@Derek Jeter
Derek, who had a great time at the "Celebrity Foursome" golf tournament, noticed how competitive Brett Favre and Andy North are as golfers.
Derek said, "As soon as he came in, he didn't even say 'hello.' He started talking about 'I have a bad back because we're playing against each other. Andy the same thing,' said Jeter.
Favre replied, "You got to position yourself."
Andy added, "You're selling product."
Favre and North were defeated by Jeter and Inkster by three strokes. The official Instagram account of the American Family Insurance Championship proudly posted the names of the winning team.
