The third major tournament is almost in its last leg, and it has been nothing less than exciting so far. Right from the first day, many records have been set at this year’s US Open, including the lowest score of the opening round and a defending champion hitting an ace. Whether it’s the golfers of LIV Golf or the PGA Tour, the players have put on a good show, but that doesn’t apply to every player.

Yesterday, a PGA Tour pro had an unfortunate incident on the golf course, and golf enthusiast Stephen Curry showed empathy toward him.

There was a stationary golf cart more than 300 yards away, and the ball landed right in the designated ball-holding space in the cart. The incident was unfortunate, but as the golfer went to inspect the landing position of his ball, he couldn’t help but crack a little smile. Even the commentators found the incident quite hysterical.
