The Golden State Warriors star made a hole-in-one Saturday in the American Century Championship celebrity tournament.
Fans roared as Curry hit the shot on the 152-yard par-3 seventh hole at Edgewood Tahoe, ripped off his hat, held a finger in the air and sprinted to the hole, smacking the flag like a runner crossing the finish line.
"That was wild," Curry said. "It was good contact, right at the stick, but even if you’re painting the flag, and it looks good, you never really expect it to go in. I just saw a bunch of hands go up, and then you just kind of black out." The eight-point ace helped Curry maintain the lead in the modified Stableford event, three points ahead of Dallas Stars forward Joe Pavelski and former tennis player Mardy Fish. Players also receive a point for par, three for birdie and six for eagle and are deducted two points for double bogey or worse.
Curry had 50 points after his 23-point round. Fish, the 2020 winner, had a 29-point day. Pavelski scored 24 points.STATELINE, NEVADA - JULY 15: Stephen Curry of the NBA Golden State Warriors smiles during the press conference following Day Two of the 2023 American Century Championship at Edgewood Tahoe Golf Course on July 15, 2023 in Stateline, Nevada.
