Steph and Ayesha Curry fire back on Twitter at those who doubted his golf game

The Currys united to trash those who didn’t think Steph would be a success in his golf debut.

Stephen Curry made his golf debut in the Web.com Tour's Ellie Mae Classic at TPC Stonebrae on Thursday. Curry is a two-time NBA MVP and one of the best shooters to touch a basketball court. What does he know about a golf course? In the days leading up to his first swing, Twitter wasn’t having it at all:

Even we counted him out to start the day.

But just like his game on the court, Steph hooped all over the course, too. Curry finished a 4-over 74 in Round 1. That tied for 146th place out of 156 golfers, but for a guy whose primary focus is a different sport in itself, that’s not too shabby at all.

Curry’s Thursday play was so impressive, pro golfers came out from the cut to applaud him on Twitter:

Curry’s former teammate Kent Bazemore, now with the Hawks, also chimed in:

The Ellie Mae Classic wasn’t televised, nor was there a live stream to watch online. But after the hype that surrounded Curry’s first go-round, they may want to rethink their broadcast strategy moving forward.
