Steph Curry misses cut in professional golf tournament
By Andrew Ites
Steph Curry continued his professional golf career at the Ellie Mae Classic, but it did not go very well for the two-time MVP.
Last week, Steph Curry participated in the Ellie Mae Classic for the second year in a row.
The tournament is located at the TPC Stonebrae Country Club in nearby Hayward, California. Curry missed the cut in 2017, but he shot a respectable 74 in each of the first two rounds and finished above a couple of professionals on the Web.com Tour (professional golf’s equivalent of the NBA’s G League).
However, Steph did not fare as well in this year’s tournament.
He started the weekend strong with a one-over 71 on Thursday, but his score fell off a cliff with a 16-over 86 on Friday causing him to miss the cut and finish in last place among the field.

Curry still has a few weeks to work on his golf game before the Warriors begin training camp and their quest for a three-peat.
Him and Andre Iguodala have been Golden State’s ambassadors for golf, and Iggy even made an appearance on the telecast of the PGA Championship on TNT as a guest analyst.
Steph grew up with the game golf along with his love for basketball. He’s played well in multiple pro-am tournaments, and Curry has even played a few rounds with President Barack Obama over the years.
This week’s performance will probably encourage Steph to put away the golf clubs for a while and focus on a game he’s much better at.
