Stephen Curry has just completed the American Century Championship golf tournament with the championship, featuring a hole-in-one that caused a fever in the online community over the weekend.
The offseason is a time for NBA players to rest and relax. Some people schedule brand promotion tours with shoe brands, others go on vacation with friends and relatives.
With Golden State Warriors superstar Stephen Curry, he took advantage of the summer to do the one thing he couldn’t do in the regular season, which was golf.
Besides basketball, golf is the top favorite sport of “chef” Curry, who plays quite well in this sport, considered one of the amateur golfers but has reached the semi-professional level.
Taking advantage of a break from the NBA, Stephen Curry participated in the American Century Golf Championship. This is an annual celebrity golf tournament in the US and this time, the Golden State Warriors star has “taken the whole episode”.
In the first two days, Curry hit the top of Twitter with a video of an impromptu 3-pointer in action, then performed a JR Smith celebration.
On the same day, he drew a beautiful curve with a putt on the 12th hole, the trajectory of the ball was no different from a 3-point ball. He even turned his face away to celebrate early like the 3PT look-away throws on the NBA field.
On the third day, Stephen Curry turned the golf course into an NBA arena. He successfully made a hole-in-one from 152 yards (about 139 meters) on the 7th hole.
Instead of losing 2-3 hits on this hole, Curry took only 1 stroke to put the ball into the hole, creating the first hole-in-one in American Century Championship history.
Hole-in-one is a fairly rare shot in golf with an occurrence rate of about 1 in 10,000 shots. But Stephen Curry has twice hit a hole-in-one even as a semi-professional player.
LeBron James, one of Curry’s rival and brother, re-shared the video, admiring this top shot.
By dawn this morning (July 17) Vietnam time, Curry ended the American Century Championship with an eagle putt on the last hole (2 strokes less than the standard number of strokes of the hole).
It was these two negative strokes that helped Stephen to win the American Century Golf Championship 2023. He excitedly celebrated in the cheers of the audience.
“I’ve always dreamed of this moment, standing in front of the 18th hole with so many spectators watching to make the final push,” Stephen Curry said of the putt that made him ACC 2023 champion.
“Having played golf for 10 years, this is my first time winning a major tournament. It feels great when I finally hit the target, it’s really emotional.”
In addition to the many basketball-related titles and records, Curry’s “CV” now has a new bullet point, which is the American Century Golf Championship.
