Phil Mickelson is used to taking up the spotlight on the golf course, but was happy to share it Wednesday during the Safeway Open Pro-Am at the Silverado Resort course in Napa, Calif. 

Mickelson was paired with Warriors star Stephen Curry, who also happens to be a pretty good golfer.

"You saw him dropping all kinds of bombs off the tee. Just hellacious bombs, deep and very accurate, certainly straighter than what I have," Mickelson said, per Golf Channel. "So he was in the fairway most of the day and played exceptional. That’s why he’s such a good golfer and can compete at a very high level."

But the two made time for fun and even shared a moment doing Curry’s trademark shimmy celebration.

"Good ham-and-egg situation over here," Curry said. "His overall game, I was just in awe of every shot but I tried to hold my own, too."

Added Mickelson: "We’d be good alternate-shot partners. We’d let him drive it off the tee, just hit those hellacious seeds, and I would end up hitting some iron shots close, and then his touch around the greens would be awesome."

Still, Curry seemed excited to get back on the court ahead of the Warriors' training camp, which opens next week.

Curry isn't the only athlete at the tournament this week, as former Cowboys quarterback Tony Romo is also competing in the Safeway Open.
