During Monday’s opening round at Shoal Creek, the senior was feeling so good about his second shot into the par-5 17th that he picked up his golf bag and started walking after it before his golf ball reached its apex. It was an absolute stunning move. Oh, and the shot was pretty darn impressive as well. Have a look for yourself:

So smooth. And efficient! Talk about helping with pace of play. Anyway, it certainly caught the attention of six-time PGA Tour winner and Golf Twitter’s King, Max Homa:

This is one of the swaggiest things I’ve ever seen a golfer do. He had the bag on his shoulder by the time the ball apexed and he stoned it ?. Aspirational feat https://t.co/dtGTelL6uU

Yeah, that’s high praise. And, not surprisingly, the rest of Homa’s loyal subjects agreed.

Of course, this type of player reaction shouldn’t be too surprising considering Steph Curry is the Howard golf team’s benefactor. We’ve seen the Golden State Warriors star turn and start running back on defence as soon as he releases a shot countless times. (And they almost always go in when he does.)

So in two ways, we owe this moment to the two-time NBA MVP. Thanks, Steph. And thanks, Greg. Do that on the PGA Tour someday and you’ll be an even bigger legend.
