This summer’s rendition of The Match between Chiefs stars Patrick Mahomes and Travis Kelce and Warriors stars Stephen Curry and Klay Thompson resulted in the NFL pros coming out on top, winning 3&2.

Mahomes and Kelce started out with a promising lead which they never dropped, going 3-up after four holes. Curry and Thompson finally won their first hole at No. 9 at the Wynn Golf Club in Paradise, Nev.

Once the Chiefs players won the competition, the four opponents went on to play one more hole to try to raise more money for charity. Curry ended up getting closest to the hole to donate $100,000 to No Kid Hungry. On the two holes prior set up for charity, Curry and Kelce each won $100,000 for his charity of choice.

While not everyone was on their top golf game Thursday night, there were plenty of viral moments that happened on the course, many of which involved observers Draymond Green and Von Miller.

Here’s a round-up of some of the best moments from The Match, courtesy of Bleacher Report and the PGA Tour.
