Michael Phelps, Michael Jordan Golf Against Each Other

Michael vs. Michael

Michael Phelps, the most decorated Olympian of all time, went one on one with six-time NBA champion and five-time MVP Michael Jordan... in a round of golf.

The two teed off against each other at the 12th annual Michael Jordan Celebrity Invitational at Shadow Creek in Las Vegas and the round went down to the wire. According to Yahoo! Sports and TMZ, Phelps edged M.J. by just one stroke, 72-73.

Phelps, who told Bader TV that His Airness was his childhood idol growing up, has been tutored by famed golf coach Hank Haney since the London Olympics. After raising his tally to 18 gold and 22 total medals over four career trips to the Olympics, Phelps took part in the Golf Channel reality series "The Haney Project."

Back in October, Phelps sunk an amazing 51-yard putt at the Dunhill Links Championship in Scotland.
