Saints News, 4/22/15: Drew Brees, Sean Payton Pair Up in Today's Zurich Classic Pro-Am

From ESPN.com: New Orleans Saints coach Sean Payton and quarterback Drew Brees will bring their prolific partnership to the golf course, where they’ll team up today with PGA Tour pro David Toms at the Zurich Classic pro-am. The all-star group is scheduled to tee off at 1:20 p.m. central time at TPC Louisiana in Avondale. And hopefully at some point, Payton and Brees will squeeze in a chat with the media about their day jobs.
