Patrick Mahomes shouts out Travis Kelce after 'The Match' win
Patrick Mahomes and Travis Kelce picked up another trophy for their already packed mantles Thursday with the Kansas City Chiefs duo defeating Stephen Curry and Klay Thompson in the most recent edition of “The Match.” Mahomes and Kelce won the 12-hole competition, 3&2, over the Splash Brothers.
After the victory, Mahomes gave a shoutout to his teammate, who sunk the winning putt on the 10th hole.
“I mean y’all thought (Travis Kelce) wasn’t going to show up when the lights come on!!” Mahomes tweeted.
The event was the seventh edition of “The Match” and was held at the Wynn Golf Club in Las Vegas. It was also the third time “The Match” finished with a 3&2 final score. Bryson DeChambeau and Aaron Rodgers defeated Phil Mickelson and Tom Brady by that score on July 6, 2021, at The Reserve at Moonlight Basin in Big Sky, Mt. Then Jordan Spieth and Justin Thomas topped Rory McIlroy and Tiger Woods on Dec 10, 2022, at Pelican Golf Club in Belleair, Fla.
Patrick Mahomes and Travis Kelce haven’t lost yet in 2023
It has been a great first half to 2023 for Patrick Mahomes and Travis Kelce with their victory in “The Match” being their latest success.

In the Super Bowl, Mahomes and Kelce led the way for Kansas City over the Philadelphia Eagles to win their second Super Bowl title.
Mahomes was 21 of 27 throwing the football for 182 yards and three touchdowns while Kelce led the team with six catches and 81 yards. Kelce also caught the first Chiefs touchdown of the game.
