Steph Curry wins again !!!

[Jasper]

American Century golf tournament won on the last hole by Curry with an eagle putt.

Awesome win... :applause:

Hung fam keeps winning

He choked vs. Mahomes when people were actually watching.

Mahomes humiliated him.

Curry is literally incapable of coming through when there are real stakes. American century gold tournament? :roll:

There are Pros who go their entire career without a hole in one. Its 1 out of 10,000 shot. The fact the greatest shotmaker in a different sport got one is RIDICULOUS. Its actually more impressive than him winning the tournament. First active athlete to do so.

Calm down. Almost every good golfer who’s played enough over their lives have had a hole in one at some point. The ones who haven’t see just unlucky.

It’s awesome that Steph did that but it’s not some crazy feat. I’ve never had one myself but my dad has. Not a pro golfer.

Lol this.

My brother had one in like 7th grade.

It's literally just a luck thing.

[ShawkFactory]

Also, why wasn’t Jordan there? Would have loved to see what he has. Apparently he’s a close to scratch golfer.

[tpols]

Curry with that super elite hand eye coordination. Showing it off time and time again. Unbelievable.

If chef didn't play basketball and put all his time into golf he'd be tiger woods level. Hand eye coordination on infinity mode.

Oh okay so we’re all allowed to make ridiculous statements and stand by them since they technically can’t be proven false?

Sounds fun!

[tpols]

There's nothing false about it.

Currys hand eye coordination is GOAT level. He's an elite golfer with it being just a hobby.

It's not far fetched to think if he solely focused on it he'd be a GOAT at it.

This.

It's probably more improbable than that. It's literally a lotto ticket. And these clowns are trying to shrug it off like it's nothing.

[tontoz]

The most pressure Curry ever had to deal with in a golf tournament wasn't in that exhibition or that celebrity tourney. He played in a tournament for pro golfers as a sponsor exemption.

Back in 2017 he played in a web.com event, the minor league to the PGA tour, and beat several of the pros shooting 74, 74 in the first two rounds.

There was a big discussion on here about it at the time. A lot of people were saying he would choke and shoot mid 80s. They had to eat a lot of crow.

This is a classic “Alabama could beat the Lions!” situation. But that times a thousand.

Steph is elite for celebrity golfers…not golfers in general. A retired tennis player and I think fvcking Jake Owen rounded out the top 3, and were close to him.

It’s clear you don’t golf because you don’t seem to understand how good tour players are, much less Tiger Woods. The course they played at had soft and flat greens, wide as shit fairways, and pretty much no rough whatsoever. And it’s short, and the pin placements catered to them to make it easier. The worst tour guy would go there and be pissed off that he shot 62. He’d have to be hungover or something.

Michael Jordan (another GOAT athlete and hand-eye guy I’d say) has been playing like 4 rounds a week for the last 30 years and is a pretty much scratch golfer, same as Steph. I heard in and interview that he plays with Keegan Bradley regularly. Keegan gives him 10 strokes and still wins most of the time. And that’s just them fvcking around not in front of the lights at a big PGA event.

It’s a completely different level of golf that the true pros play.

You seriously say the dumbest shit on the board :lol

Tiger has the 2nd most majors in history and his peak was far and away the most dominant in the history of the sport. Claiming Curry would've achieved this is frankly retarded.

I said if he devoted his life to it instead of basketball.

Currys hand eye coordination and determination and focus are clearly GOAT. His golfing skill is top notch without even being his primary ambition.

I'd argue... Curry might be even better than tiger in this hypothethetical. Since Woods never showed athletic competency anywhere else. And the sport was traditionally dominated by non athlete types.

Why wouldn’t Jordan be on at least the senior tour at this point then?

And Mardy Fish, the guy who Steph had to eagle to beat today? He never even made a semifinal of a major tennis tournament. Why wouldn’t he have devoted his life to golf instead since he’s so good at it?

A lot of athletes are great at different sports. That’s what makes them great athletes.

Just because you’re remarkable at one doesn’t mean you’d be remarkable at another. I mean…should Steve Nash go out there and start dominating at golf too? If all it takes is great hand-eye then shit, why not.

No. It’s an entirely different discipline with a different set of skills.

It’s weird that I have to make this argument to an adult.

Tiger at his peak might be the best athlete in the history of the planet. His level of dominance will never be reached.

Golf is a lot more than hand eye coordination, it requires absurd discipline and mental fortitude from a young age. Curry would never be a competent professional golfer, he doesn't have the mental makeup for it.

Shawk is schooling you. Take notes

And that's exactly what I was saying. If curry devoted his whole life to that particular discipline and sport it would be right in line for him to dominate at it. He has every facet of physical and mental skills to dominate it. He did it with basketball...what makes you think it'd be different with golf?

Dude it’s not even just the mental aspect, although that’s a big part of it when you’re actually at the highest level.

Steph was hitting 3 woods on par 4s to keep it the fairway. At that course most pros are hammering drivers and going 50-60 yards further at least. They’re just longer somehow. Their bodies know how to do it.

I’m sure Ray Lewis has thrown plenty of footballs in his life, but he could never do it the way even Kirk Cousins does. It’s innate.

So why is Jordan still taking 10 strokes from a tour guy and losing most of the time? I feel like you’re not getting this.

Sometimes people are great at different things. Two guys can be really good at two sports but one can be great at one of them. People have a knack for things. Steph is a good golfer and if he dedicated his life to it maybe he gets in the tour. Who knows. Tiger is the GOAT though so it’s weird to say he’d be that.

Steph also grew up playing golf. His dad was literally also in this tournament and scored well.

Oh for sure. It's hard to comprehend for slower guys like tpols. I understand and appreciate the unique skills that are required to be a pro. He's arguing that if steph trained like he did for bball he'd be Tiger level. Enormously stupid, and it's obvious he doesn't get it. Some guys just didn't grow up playing these sports and have an understanding and appreciation for what it takes to excel at them like we did.

It's like saying steph would be babe Ruth because he can sink 3s. Just so silly. :oldlol:

Jordan doesn't have the hand eye coordination of steph curry. You're comparing a guy who was a dunker and supreme athlete with a super nice midrange game to the best shooter ever.

A guy who had the coordination to drill 40 foot shots like free throws. That long range capability is clearly more applicable to golf. Would you not agree?

[hold this L]

We don't know if Steph would be a all time great golfer if he focused on it, that's too many what ifs and saying he could rival Tiger is crazy. The idea that someone could be one of the best players of all time in two different sports is a hard sell. Steph will have a chance to prove himself for golf in the future because he likely will do this for fun. What he did was a cool moment, but of course the biggest loser on this entire website came in crying as if it matters. Imagine being so pathetic as a human being that an NBA player you don't like does something cool in a meaningless tournament in another sport and it triggers you to give excuses to devalue something that.. doesn't even matter.


Holy shit what a loser. :lol

Bonds came into the league as a stick. Dude was the best before steroids while weighing less and being weaker than curry. You just don't understand. Also, golf requires immense strength and explosion especially today.

Barry bonds is a GOAT. And was great before steroids. He was absolutely a stronger and bigger man than steph curry though even before he blew up. :lol You're showing your age and size by not seeing ir acknowledging that.

Maybe you were born when Bonds won his first round of MVPs but you certainly don’t remember it so miss me with that bullshit :lol

Pre-steroid Bonds was 6’1 and maybe 190 tops. The “Home Run Champion” was just really good at what he did. His biggest strengths were his coordination and plate discipline.

Also, way to dig yourself in a bigger hole by further showing your lack of sports acumen. Strength isn't the main reason why Bonds was good. And Tigers greatness goes well beyond hand-eye coordination. You're a goof.

Bonds was actually listed at 185 I was just being generous. So he was 2 inches shorter and the same weight as Steph.

That’s…smaller. And as you know (well maybe you don’t), leverage is a thing in baseball. Length can add power on its own.

But fvck it, I’ll be nice. Let’s say Steph doesn’t have the home run juice even pre-steroid bonds had. He should at least be able to hit .300 and draw some walks right?

Curry if he played baseball would be a Jeter type. Placing balls in play to advance runners. The bonds comparison was beyond absurd. He's not a power guy... he's a precesion player. Which is what golf entails.

[SATAN]

Hard to automatically assume he would be good at golf because he's a good shooter in the NBA considering Steph was taught at a young age by his father Dell, an ex NBA 3 point sniper.

He is set post retirement in terms of having a rewarding hobby. Golf is the best sport to keep playing for decades into old-age.

Golf is as much about IQ as athletic ability. So it's up Steph's alley. If you see Steph's legs, they're not the typical build for an NBA athlete. Nonetheless, he's accomplished so much because he's a step ahead of everyone mentally.

Certain people are just natural competitors who win at whatever they commit themselves to. And then in contrast there's the InsideHoops forum members :D

ME : Tiger woods is a MJ or Kobe in the golf world.

Curry , not even close.
If he concentrated on golf alone , he could maybe make the Senior tour , but I doubt that would even happen.

Pro golfers are like pro bball players ... kill any amateur and a fine line from ranked #1 -to 150.

Do u remember when 49'ers John Brodie joined the senior tour. (he was considered an exceptional amateur) , when he
moved to the pro Senior tour , he was average at best.

Just no. Put him in a tourney with nothing but college players and he would get punk'd.

They actually have rankings for the top ams in the world. No idea where Romo is but he definitely isn't top 100.

As far as i know the only tournament success he's ever had is in celebrity events. When he tries to play against high level competition it hasn't gone well. He's a good player no doubt but tournament golf is a different animal.
