Over the weekend, San Francisco played host to the first major golf tournament on the 2020 calendar at TPC Harding Park. On Sunday, the 102nd edition of the PGA Championship teed off near Lake Merced in “The City.”
While a stacked group that included Bryson DeChambeau, Brooks Koepka, Dustin Johnson and Tony Finau battled for the clubhouse lead, a pair of Golden State Warriors were watching from the limited gallery. With the tournament in the Bay Area, golf fans Steph Curry and Damion Lee were able to follow along the course to view the Tour’s best at the PGA Championship.
On Monday, Lee shared a photo alongside the two-time Most Valuable Player, Kris Stoney and Curry’s former Davidson teammate Bryant Barr. Lee called watching the PGA Championship an “unreal experience” on Instagram.

In the final round, Collin Morikawa separated himself from the top group with an improbable tee shot on the 16th hole to set up a roll-in put for eagle. The Cal Berkeley alum finished with a score of six-under 64 on Sunday to cap his first major tournament victory at 23-years-old.
After the tournament, Curry transformed from point guard to reporter. The six-time All-Star appeared at the press conference in the winner’s circle as a reporter from “Underrated Media.” After his questions, Curry offered to serve as Morikawa’s caddie while the Warriors are on the outside of the Orlando Bubble.

With the Golden State Warriors in line for an extended offseason, Curry and Lee will have plenty of time to tee up on the golf course before returning to Chase Center.
