After analyzing his golf swings, Collin Morikawa, the winner of PGA Championship and the Open Championship lauded the guard. This was in a promotional video for Capitol One’s ‘The Match’ which is a celebrity golf face-off event among NBA and NFL players. Morikawa is a part of the tournament and analyzed swings of Curry, Klay Thompson, Travis Kelce, and Patrick Mahomes. For Steph, he says, “You’re gonna be, I wouldn’t say the star of this match… but you might have some of the most quality golf shots. So Steph, you’re my one in this top four so far,”

This lofty praise indicates the golfing skills exhibited by the four-time NBA Champion. Another viral video confirms that he can indeed be accurate while playing golf. The Warriors guard has engaged with golf since he was a kid. His father, former Hornets sharpshooter Dell Curry used to take him to golf outings. Therefore, he has seen the game closely and continues the practice that his father instilled in him. This video testifies to his experience and Morikawa’s sentiments, displaying the lovely golf swing of The Golden Boy.

The video overwhelms the fans

Looking at that video, it is clear that it isn’t just deep threes on the basketball court that the Guard can bury. He is a multi-dimensional individual. This drew a host of reactions from fans who found his skills exhilarating.

One of the fans had a big compliment for the Baby-Faced Assassin.
