Basketball star Steph Curry has taken aim at US President Donald Trump in a viral golf clip with Bryson DeChambeau.
As well as being a successful golfer, DeChambeau also has a hugely popular YouTube channel, with almost 2.5 million subscribers.
One of his most popular series is called Break 50, where he invites special guests to play an 18-hole round in a two-man scramble format, aiming to shoot under 50.
Trump, a keen golfer, appeared on the series more than a year ago in a video that has now garnered over 16.5 million views.

It was an impressive round from the pair, but they ultimately came up short, finishing on exactly 50.
Now, NBA star Curry has become the first guest alongside DeChambeau to break that mark, finishing the round with a score of 49.
Perhaps most impressively, the Golden State Warriors icon also managed to outdrive DeChambeau, who is renowned for being one of the biggest drivers on the tour.

The moment sparked an entertaining exchange between the pair.
DeChambeau said: "You might have hit farther than me,” before a delighted Curry replied: “My golf life is complete."
Curry beating Trump's score around the course will feel even sweeter for the basketball star, given the history between the two.
Back in 2017, during Trump's first term in the White House, Curry led the Golden State Warriors team to the NBA championship.

Traditionally, in American sports, the teams that win the major championships go to the White House following their victories.
Curry was reluctant to go, but before the Warriors confirmed that he would not be attending, Trump took matters into his own hands on X.
He wrote: “Going to the White House is considered a great honor for a championship team.

"Stephen Curry is hesitating, therefore invitation is withdrawn!”
Shortly after, the Warriors released their own statement.
It read: "While we intended to meet as a team at the first opportunity we had this morning to collaboratively discuss a potential visit to the White House, we accept that President Trump has made it clear that we are not invited."
Curry is now preparing for the start of the NBA season.

The Warriors have one final pre-season game against the LA Clippers on October 17, before they open their campaign against the Lakers on October 21.
While the Warriors are not among the favourites to reach the NBA Finals, they will believe that with Curry's brilliance, they could win another championship.
