Chuck’s quest to improve his golfing skills seems to be getting better with time. After making some infamous “ugliest” swings, he now has the confidence to play against others. Following the same, he recently got DJ Khaled on the green for a Par 3 Challenge. This was during Capital One’s “The Match.” However, while he tried his best, the NBA legend gave up in the end and let his co-host for the charitable event win.

Charles Barkley made some good swings and even a hole but DJ Khaled took the victory home with a 2-1. The official Instagram page of the NBA on TNT shared a post captioned, “Chuck took an L to @djkhaled in a best of 3 Golf match!” The two big guns of their respective industries can be seen taunting each other while making their swings.

Funny enough, the game seemed to end because Charles Barkley simply picked up the ball from the bunker. After he was done shouting out of joy, DJ Khaled approached Chuck, asking, “Yo Barkley, who won that? And the one before that?” Charles Barkley couldn’t do anything but innocently reply to the questions with, “You did! So, you beat me two to one.”

Surprisingly, while the end result of the game showed DJ Khaled as the winner, it was not so in the beginning. While covering Capital One’s charitable event, the NBA star and Khaled took some personal time to showcase their respective talents. None other than the ‘Round Mound of Rebound’ Charles Barkley won the game, which was originally supposed to be only one match.
