Georgia head coach Kirby Smart and former quarterback David Dukes represented the Bulldogs in the 13th Chick-fil-A Peach Bowl Challenge charity golf tournament at Reynolds Lake Oconee.

The duo finished second, with 11-under par, behind Ole Miss’ Matt Luke and Wesley Walls.

Smart and Duke closed out their round with seven birdies on the back nine. It didn’t come without some laughs.

Smart fell victim to a putt prank. After sinking a long run, the ball spit out from the hole as quickly as it dropped in (see video).

Smart’s finish raised $90,000 for the university and charity.

This year's field included coaches from Georgia Tech, Clemson, Notre Dame, Auburn and Florida. (Alabama's Nick Saben withdrew after undergoing hip surgery.) Between them they've won seven national championships, 37 FBS conference championships and has 1,345 career wins.
