While he’s known for threatening opposing defenses with his deadly long-distance shooting, Steph Curry showed off his power from the tee box on the first day of the American Century Championship golf tournament in Lake Tahoe on Thursday.
The Golden State Warriors point guard shared a clip from his blast during the “long drive contest” on Thursday. Curry crushed a bomb down the center of the fairway and celebrated with the crowd in attendance. After launching the ball from the tee, Curry bat flipped his club and catered to the crowd by firing them up.
