World number three golfer Jon Rahm says "it just doesn't seem fair" that Gareth Bale could be so good at both football and golf.
The pair played together in the Pro-Am before the Farmers Insurance Open on the PGA Tour this week, and comes just weeks after the Wales legend announced his retirement from professional football.
Bale is well known for his love of golf, having once stood in front of the infamous "Wales. Golf. Madrid. In that order" banner, which caused all sorts of strife in his relationship with Real Madrid supporters.

Spaniard Rahm was taken aback by the talent of the Welshman with club in hand, and playfully hit out at the 33-year-old for being so good in two sports.
"I told Gareth, 'you can't be so good at professional football and golf at the same time, it just doesn't seem fair'," he said.
"Can't be dedicated to one thing and have this much talent for golf, it's not fair in the slightest."
Bale recently announced that he would be playing in the AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am in California next month. Despite warming up for this by playing with one of the world's best - Rahm - Bale wasn't asking for tips.
"He didn't ask for anything, nor should he be asking, he's already good enough," the 28-year-old said. "He has no business being that good when he's a professional football player.
"When he can actually practice more, he's going to get a lot better.
"He got two strokes in the Pro-Am, which I think is already wrong. He should be giving strokes back to the rest of the amateurs because he is a very, very good player."
