Stephen Curry has proven his prowess not only as a great basketball player but also as a skilled golfer. Curry exuded confidence when he went head-to-head with Patrick Mahomes and Travis Kelce alongside his fellow teammate Klay Thompson in the eighth iteration of the Match golf tournament last month. Surprisingly, Kelce and Mahomes emerged victorious when the NBA star was anticipated to breeze through the match with his remarkable +1.3 handicap.

Despite the defeat at the match, Travis Kelce’s former girlfriend, Kayla Nicole, is more impressed with Stephen Curry’s golfing skills. She is excited for the NBA star who restored his glory as he flexed his skills on another turf.

The Golden State warrior showcased an impressive moment during the American Century Championship celebrity tournament in Stateline, Nevada. On the second day of the tournament, Curry made a jaw-dropping hole-in-one on the par-3, 152-yard seventh hole at Edgewood Tahoe Golf Course. He swung his pitching wedge from the tee and the ball soared through the air and dropped away from the hole before bouncing and landing right in it. As the crowd erupted in applause, an excited Curry ran with his hands aloft to the hole.

Kelce with an impressive track record of eight pro bowl appearances and his consistency, has drawn comparisons to Warriors Guard Stephen Curry. “He has that Steph Curry thing, like, how long can be he an All-Pro?” an insider told a source. “He ages well because his game is not predicated on speed.”
