Steph Curry continues to amaze us with his exceptional abilities, and this time it wasn’t on the basketball court but on the golf course. During the second day of the American Century Championship celebrity tournament held at Edgewood Tahoe Golf Course in Stateline, Nevada, the NBA star showcased his golfing prowess by hitting a remarkable hole-in-one on the par-3, 152-yard seventh hole.
Using a pitching wedge, the Golden State Warriors point guard sent the golf ball flying from the tee. The ball landed just a few feet away from the hole, took one bounce, and then effortlessly dropped in, resulting in an incredible feat. The crowd erupted in celebration, and Curry couldn’t contain his excitement as he ran from the tee to the hole, raising his arms triumphantly. He even took a victory lap around the green, soaking in the applause from the spectators.
Reflecting on the remarkable shot, Curry expressed his astonishment, stating, “That was wild. 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 NBA star shared the video of the ace on his social media accounts, along with a picture of his glove, scorecard, and the ball, captioning it with “Shooters Shoot!!! Hole In One vibes out here in Lake Tahoe. That’s ✌️.”
Curry’s hole-in-one significantly boosted his position in the tournament standings, which utilizes the Modified Stableford format, where points are awarded based on the score per hole. After two rounds, Curry currently leads the pack with 50 points, holding a three-point lead over former US tennis player Mardy Fish and NHL player Joe Pavelski.
