You would have thought Patrick Mahomes won the Super Bowl… again.
The 24-year-old and reigning Super Bowl MVP is one of several professional athletes competing in the American Century Celebrity Golf Championship Tournament at Edgewood Tahoe.
Mahomes, who finished Friday’s first round with an 88, made a 10-foot par putt on 17 and celebrated with a Super Bowl sized fist pump as the ball crept to the hole.
“Could not be playing any worse (right now) but having a great time,” Mahomes wrote on Twitter Friday.
The reigning Super Bowl champion has had a newsworthy week after signing an NFL record 10-year contract extension with the Chiefs Monday worth $503 million.
Former NFL defensive tackle Kyle Williams currently leads the event after carding a first-round 70. Former Dallas Cowboys quarterback and current NFL analyst Tony Romo and former Atlanta Brave John Smoltz finished Thursday T-2 after carding 73s in Stateline, Nevada.
Also in the field for this week’s event are Golden State Warriors star Steph Curry and his father Dell Curry, Arizona Cardinals wide receiver Larry Fitzgerald, former NFL quarterback Steve Young and Mahomes’ teammate and Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce.
Celebrities in the field who don’t play another sport for a living include Larry the Cable Guy as well as comedians Ray Romano and Rob Riggle.
