Curry delivers dramatic win by sinking a dramatic win-or-lose putt to win American Century Championship golf title.
Curry sprinted toward the gallery at Edgewood Tahoe Resort, stopping to hug his wife Ayesha and then triumphantly picking up his son Canon as the crowd roared its approval.
For Curry, who became just the second active athlete to win the popular tournament in Stateline, Nev., Sunday was a dream come true. Heading into the 18 hole, he trailed former tennis star Mardy Fish by 3 points in the modified Stableford scoring system, meaning he needed to make the putt for the improbable 6-point eagle to win the tournament. A miss would mean a second-place finish for Curry.
“I always dreamt of a situation like this, on the 18th green in front of a crowd like that, to make a putt,” Curry told NBC Sports. “Thankfully it went in, which is insane.”
