Patrick Leonard's mantra is #nevermissasunday, but for his Saturday fun, the Team partypoker grinder was playing on a different field of green yesterday. As detailed in the Tweeted Instagram link, Leonard was out on the football pitch yesterday, and his team got a 3-0 win to keep their 100% record intact.
He'll be hoping he can follow that win up with a win on a different field of green today.
