Golden State Warriors superstar Stephen Curry is known for his long-range ability on the basketball court. Apparently, that superpower extends to all of Curry’s sporting accolades.
Curry showed off his fantastic driving ability and clutch skills during an episode of Bryson DeChambeau’s YouTube show “Break 50″on Wednesday. During the episode, Curry even managed to outdrive DeChambeau, who is known for his ridiculous drives.
Before the episode truly got underway, DeChambeau explained Curry was among the most-requested guests to appear on the program, which features DeChambeau teaming up with a celebrity or athlete to try and shoot under 50 at a golf course. Tom Brady, Adam Sandler and President Donald Trump have all appeared on the show in the past.
Once Curry hits his first shot, it’s apparent why fans wanted to see him compete with DeChambeau. Curry drilled the ball onto the green, leaving it just 4 feet from the hole. He sunk the putt on his next shot, giving the team a -2 right off the bat.
Curry essentially played a flawless game early, not allowing DeChambeau to putt on the first three holes. After a ball rimmed out on the fourth hole, DeChambeau finally got his chance to sink his first putt of the day. He was successful, keeping the team in the hunt for a score under 50.

It was a dominant performance by both men. Curry and DeChambeau combined to shoot par on just one hole on the day. They were so dominant elsewhere, with multiple eagles, that they managed to shoot a 49, accomplishing their goal of breaking 50.
While DeChambeau played excellent golf, that was expected. Curry’s dominance was so impressive that DeChambeau quipped “you need to play professional golf” after the 18th hole. Curry played it off, telling DeChambeau “don’t you start.”
Curry going pro in another sport isn’t likely to happen soon. The 37-year-old is still among the best players in the NBA. Last season, he averaged 24.5 points with the Warriors and helped the team upset the Houston Rockets in the first round of the NBA playoffs.
Curry will look to win his fifth NBA championship this season, as the Warriors try and regroup after somewhat of a down year. While Curry still has a few years of strong production left in him, the end of his career will be here before long.
At that point, he might want to consider taking up golf. Plenty of athletes from other sports have tried — and mostly failed — at becoming professional golfers after retiring from their main sport. Curry was so good in DeChambeau’s video that he could wind up breaking that trend.
