He carded a total of 87 strokes. He achieved a score of 42 on the back nine. On the other hand, Patrick Mahomes struggled to find his rhythm on the golf course. He finished with a total score of 89.

Kelce Left Impressed by Canelo Alvarez

After securing a victory over his teammate Patrick Mahomes, Travis Kelce didn’t miss the chance to commend boxing sensation Canelo Alvarez who was also a part of the event. “Canelo is awesome. He’s such an unbelievable athlete. To be able to do what he does in the ring and then come out here and be smooth as can be, hit a bunch of unbelievable golf shots,” Kelce said.

“I have so much respect for who he is as a person and who he is as an athlete, so it was fun playing Canelo. At the same time, he hit a few good shots, but he wasn’t himself today,” he added. Looking at all this, it would be safe to say that, Kelce, Canelo and even Mahomes, are making the most of their time at the ACC.
