On Sunday, Jason, playing in Lake Tahoe for the first time, started and finished the third round in 87th place out of a possible 89. He scored -14 and finished the first and second rounds with scores of -24 and -13, respectively.
Only former Yankees slugger Alex Rodriguez (-59) and American meteorologist Dylan Dreyer (-64) were ranked lower than the former Philadelphia Eagles center.
Fox News reporter Bret Baier withdrew from the celebrity golf tournament after two rounds.
On the other hand, Travis started the final round in 55th place before dropping seven spots to 63rd as he scored -10 overall but -11 on the day. In the first two rounds, the Chiefs tight end had a respective score of -2 and 3.

“It just felt like sometimes these days you have those rounds where you stand behind your ball and look at the putt or something and you see it right away,” said Fish, the 2020 winner. “And I did that a lot of times today.”
NHL player Joe Pavelski was in second place after a 29-point day.
“You try to stay connected to Mardy,” said Pavelski, the Dallas Stars forward who has said he will likely retire after 18 NHL seasons. “We can kind of hear what’s going on there.”
Annika Sorenstam finished third with 68 after scoring 27 points on Sunday.
Charles Barkley was tied for 58th with -4 points after a -7 point day.
