Brooks Koepka learned a valuable lesson about trash-talking Michael Jordan, even in a sport besides basketball.

Koepka told Scott Van Pelt on "SportsCenter" on Monday that he lost to Jordan on the golf course after blowing a late lead. Worse yet, Koepka had been trash-talking Jordan leading up to the 17th and 18th holes.

"It might have been the second time I've ever played with him. It was me, him, there was a few other guys," Koepka said. "Whatever it was, I was one-up going into 17. We had been jawing all day, and we had like a 40-yard walk back to the 17 tee. He hasn't said much the last couple holes, I've kind of taken them. And I'm walking back, and I just said something like 'I've got you right where I want you.'"

Koepka said Jordan set up to tee off and gave Koepka a warning.

"He just tees the ball up, he takes his practice swing, he looks at me and goes 'It's the fourth quarter, baby, I don't lose.'

"And sure enough, I lost 17 and I lost 18. So that's probably the last time I've ever smack-talked him."

Of course, Koepka revealed Jordan was playing on a handicap. Even the basketball G.O.A.T. isn't good enough at golf to beat likely the best golfer today.

Koepka said he hasn't played golf with Jordan since but hopes to soon.
