RESOLVING THE LEDGER
This is one outlet's own report from Yahoo Sports — the article as it was filed.
From the green turf to the green felt, Green Bay Packers wide receiver Matthew Golden flexed his muscles in a different discipline entirely when he made a guest appearance at the Oneida Casino Hotel in Ashwaubenon for a professional billiards competition over the weekend.
Golden paired with pro player Kristina Tkach and won an exhibition doubles match in 9-ball during the event, the Oneida WPA Women's 8-ball World Championships, running July 22-26.
Tkach, 27, is from Russia and is one of the best billiards players in the world, reaching the No. 1 ranking at one point by the Women's Professional Billiard Association. She's currently ranked third.
