(Photo by Lachlan Cunningham/Getty Images)Golden State Warriors star Steph Curry was playing coy about the state of his golf game two days before he plays in the Web.com Tour’s Ellie Mae Classic for a second straight year.
A reporter on Tuesday brought up the fact that his Warriors’ teammate Andre Iguodala recently mentioned that Curry shot 67 in a round during the NBA finals with the Cleveland Cavaliers.
“He shouldn’t be divulging that information,” Curry said in a pre-tournament news conference at the TPC Stonebrae in Hayward, Calif.
Asked to confirm that indeed he had shot a 67?
“I plead the Fifth,” he said.
Air ball. He had posted the score on the USGA Handicap Index site GHIN.com. A member of the California Golf Club in San Francisco, Curry entered the score on an away cou..

Stuart Franklin(Photo by Stuart Franklin/Getty Images)ST. LOUIS—Dustin Johnson is not one for exposition. Which is perfectly fine, because his brevity never ceases to deliver.
For the second straight year, the PGA of America allowed the PGA Championship field to don shorts during the tournament's practice rounds. Given temperatures were in the mid 90s on Monday (with a real feel in the 100s), most of the field took advantage of the relaxed dress code.
One notable that did not, however, was World No. 1 Dustin Johnson. Many chalked this up to the fact that DJ doesn't look like he's sweated a single day in his life. But, speaking to the media on Tuesday at Bellerive, Johnson had a slightly less complicated answer for rocking pants in the Missouri heat.
“Yeah, I definitely forgot to pack them,” Johnson said.

It probably smells funky, has sticky floors, and serves the burgers well done just to be safe. But what ol' Mulligan's lacks in charm, it more than make up for with grit. Don't believe us? Well on Sunday, the popular local dive was hit by a freakin' car and it didn't miss a beat, staying open despite the Volkswagen wedged in its entrance.
Talk about grinding for par, amirite? The Squankum Fire Company (great band name, guys) responded to the scene of the accident a little after 3pm, finding the driver uninjured and the building as structurally sound as it was before the accident, which is to say good enough. Mulligan's reopened, minus one vestibule, in time for patrons to watch JT clinch at Firestone over some wings and Springsteen. God bless America and seat belts, amen.
