Stephen Curry keeps proving how good he is off the court and on the course, doing so again Thursday when he shot a one-over 71 in the first round of the Web.com Tour’s Ellie Mae Classic. 

Curry received a special exemption to play this event, which is being played at TPC Stonebrae outside San Francisco.

On the back nine, Curry posted a two-under 33 and played his last seven holes in three under. The best shot of the day came at the par-4 8th, where he nearly holed his second shot in setting up a birdie.
