NFL bragging privileges are its property.

Patrick Mahomes and Travis Kelce of the Kansas City Chiefs defeated Stephen Curry and Klay Thompson of the Golden State Warriors in Capital One’s “The Match 8” on Thursday at Wynn Golf Club in Las Vegas.

Both Mahomes and Kelce maintained dominance and only conceded one hole prior to sealing the deal on the tenth.

The pairs engaged in a scramble format over 12 holes, where each participant used the team’s finest ball for the subsequent strokes after teeing off. In lieu of stroke play, the outcome was determined by the number of holes completed.Although Mahomes and Kelce contributed to the victory, the outcome extended beyond the realm of golf. Donations were accepted for the No Kid Hungry campaign, an organization whose mission is to eradicate childhood malnutrition in the United States.Furthermore, to augment the foundation’s financial resources, the participants engaged in competitions such as the “Closest to the Hole” on par threes.Curry has participated in a number of pro-am tournaments and is renowned for his golf prowess; these factors contributed to the perception that the Warriors were the favorites. His second-hole approach resulted in his drive landing on the fairway, whereas his companions aimed their approaches towards the gallery, trees, and a hazard.Nonetheless, the momentum shifted abruptly when Mahomes and Kelce each held enormous chips necessary to win the hole.The momentum was then carried by the Kansas City tandem, which included Mahomes delivering an additional brilliant chip on the third hole and the quarterback executing a clutch putt on the fourth. The football players unexpectedly held a three-hole lead through the first four holes, sparking a comeback by the Warriors duo.It was virtually over by the time Curry and Thompson dropped short shots, resulting in a six-hole deficit and a four-hole loss.However, they did have some insults in the form of Draymond Green:Joe Burrow was not present, and Kansas City failed to secure the victory with a two-putt when both competitors completed three-putts on the ninth green when two putts would have been sufficient.Still, there was absolute certainty, and Kelce’s tenth-hole putt put an end to it.Mahomes, who teamed with Josh Allen and was defeated by Tom Brady and Aaron Rodgers in the previous summer’s edition of The Match, attained some redemption with this performance. However, this was yet another defeat for Curry, who was a 2020 Peyton Manning teammate and was defeated by Phil Mickelson and Charles Barkley.Fortunately, the Splash Brothers can still rely on their four basketball championships for support, despite their Thursday loss on the golf course.
