Stephen Curry has already won the Ellie Mae Classic
Stephen Curry, the Golden State Warriors’ superstar, has already won in his pro golf debut at the Ellie Mae Classic after an impressive start.
Stephen Curry will not actually win the tournament. Being a golfer isn’t his primary job. He’s a basketball player with a love for golf.
His participation in the Ellie Mae Classic rubbed some people the wrong way. They felt like he was a novelty act that would deprive a worthy “serious” golfer of an opportunity to participate. Many assumed that despite the fact that he is a solid golfer for a hooper, he wouldn’t be able to deal with the difficult course or high-level competition.
