(Las Vegas, Nevada) — The battle of the duos

NFL stars Patrick Mahomes and Travis Kelce took on NBA stars Steph Curry and Klay Thompson in the eighth edition of “The Match” charity golf event in Vegas on Thursday.

The Mahomes, Kelce tandem came out on top pulling off the upset victory.

“I wouldn’t mind coming back here in February and defending the title, baby,” Kelce told CNN Sport’s Andy Scholes.

The Kansas City Chief teammates entered the day as heavy underdogs, given Curry’s high regard on the golf course.

The match was briefly tied up after the first hole until Mahomes and Kelce won the next three and never looked back.

Steph’s a great golfer, I thought Klay did a good job out there today,” Mahomes said. “But they didn’t have that team aspect that we had.”

It appeared the connection between quarterback and tight-end was too much for the ‘splash brothers’ to handle.

“Literally, I would hit a terrible shot, Trav would hit a great one and vice versa.” Mahomes said. “That’s what it takes in a team event like that and I think we went out there and showed what we can do.”

The duo looks to make another victorious trip to Vegas when Super Bowl LVII takes place in the Sin City.
