Patrick Mahomes urges Travis Kelce ‘let’s do it’ after US Open champion Bryson DeChambeau lays down a challenge
KANSAS City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes has urged Travis Kelce to get on the course with Bryson DeChambeau.
The golf star challenged the two NFL players after winning the US Open last week.
Mahomes, 28, closely followed the drama at Pinehurst in North Carolina last week.
DeChambeau, 30, won the tournament for the second time, securing a victory over Rory McIlroy with an epic 55-yard bunker shot on the 18th.
The Chiefs quarterback complimented the pro golfer on the spectacular chip in a social media post.
DeChambeau responded a couple of days later — suggesting an intriguing challenge.

"You, me, and Trav Break 50, let’s go!" the California native wrote.
Break 50 is a game DeChambeau often organizes as part of his YouTube series, featuring many high-profile guests.
In the challenge, the participants attempt to complete 18 holes in less than 50 strokes.
After teeing off, they pick the best shot and continue from there, using the same rule until the round is done.

"Let’s do it!" Mahomes responded, tagging Kelce in his post.
And, seeing the Chiefs star eager to get involved, DeChambeau wrote: "See you soon."
Mahomes is an avid golfer.
Earlier this year, the quarterback hosted a golf tournament during his foundation's charity event in Las Vegas.
Meanwhile, Kansas City's preparations for the 2024 NFL season are underway.
Mahomes recently revealed that the defending Super Bowl champions might switch things up on offense in their three-pear bid.
'Well-talked-about personal life'
Travis Kelce was asked about his relationship with Taylor Swift during an interview with Good Morning America.
But the Kansas City Chiefs tight end gave a cagey response.
"When you have good family and friends around you, it makes that aspect of life that much easier," Kelce told GMA.
"I've always been a very grounded guy. It might not come off that way when I'm playing football.
"But off the field, I just want to be a genuine person. I try not to get too far down the road.
"Because you never know what opportunities are going to present themselves."
He joked that head coach Andy Reid was "forcing me to push the ball down the field" during offseason practice.
"If I don't, he throws little jabs at me like, 'Oh, you want to throw the check down here?'" the ex-Texas Tech standout continued.
"I'm like, 'I got you, Coach; we're going to push it.' It has been fun."
Mahomes will have plenty of weapons to rely on next season.
