Samuel L. Jackson claims he once beat Tiger Woods by eight strokes at St. Andrews

Samuel L. Jackson once beat Tiger Woods in a match at St. Andrews?

Seems too good to be true, however, that's what Jackson claims. Though, he said it was a “complete accident."

While appearing on The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon earlier this week, Fallon asked Jackson about the rumor and the Pulp Fiction star elaborated.

"The first time I ever played St. Andrews, they paired me with [Woods] in what was the (Alfred Dunhill Championship) and I was a 16 [handicap]," Jackson said. "So they gave me my 16 shots and I shot a 78 because he said ‘follow me’ and I stayed as close to him as I could.
