For the first time, Curry hosted only girls for a free, Warriors-run camp Monday and Tuesday at Walnut Creek's Ultimate Fieldhouse. Last week at the same facility that he has also chosen in recent years, the Golden State star held his Under Armour "Stephen Curry Select Camp" with two of the nation's top high school girls playing mixed right in with the best boys. The two-time MVP and father of two young daughters has made it his mission to better support the girls' game. He asked longtime Warriors camp director Jeff Addiego to plan an all-girls session this summer.

Steph Curry shoots 71 in Web.com Tour event
Kevin Casey Golfweek Published 10:38 p.m. UTC Aug 9, 2018 Steph Curry proved last year that he’s not intimidated by professional golf events. His encore performance? Somehow it could be even better, by a significant margin. The two-time MVP guard of the Golden State Warriors birdied three of his final seven holes Thursday at the Web.com Tour’s Ellie Mae Classic to rally for a 1-over 71 in the opening round at TPC Stonebrae in Hayward, Calif. That's three shots better than his first round in this event last year. And that 74, in the amateur’s Web.com Tour debut, was considered a pretty significant success. When he reached the clubhouse, Curry was in a tie for 115th – although he likely will drop a little with the afternoon wave just off. By day’s end, the projected cut likely will be 1 or 2 under, which means Curry actually will begin Friday with at least a tiny chance to make the weekend. Curry is competing in just his second career Web.com Tour … [Read more...] about Steph Curry shoots 71 in Web.com Tour event

Steph Curry dreams of making the cut in Web.com golf event
By Ron Kroichick Updated 2:27 pm PDT, Tuesday, August 7, 2018 Stephen Curry knows it’s an extreme longshot for him to make the cut in this week’s Web.com Tour event in Hayward. But he also lets himself contemplate the possibility. Curry, speaking before his practice round Tuesday at TPC Stonebrae, said his goal this week is to play better than he did in last year’s Ellie Mae Classic. Amid skepticism about how he would fare against pros one step removed from the PGA Tour, he earned widespread respect with rounds of 74-74. That left him at 8-over-par, 11 strokes short of advancing to the weekend. “I went back and thought, ‘Where can I shave off those 11 shots this year?’” Curry said Tuesday. “Stay away from double bogeys, I think I had two of those last year. I had a penalty shot on one of the par-5s. Little things like that, I think about as a true golf nut. “Now whether I can execute that is another question. But I feel … [Read more...] about Steph Curry dreams of making the cut in Web.com golf event
