Stephen Curry won the American Century Championship on Sunday with an 18-foot eagle putt, his first title in the celebrity tournament.

Curry, the Golden State Warriors star who hit a hole-in-one on Saturday, capped it off with an eagle on the par-5 18th hole at Edgewood Tahoe Golf Course on Lake Tahoe’s shores. He tossed his hat into the air and dashed into the arms of his wife, Ayesha, after the putt dropped.

‘I don’t do this for a living, so it’s just something you fantasise about,’ Curry explained. ‘I’ve been playing in this tournament for almost a decade and now I’ve got some hardware to show for it. It’s quite unique.’

The eagle was worth six points under a modified Stableford scoring system. A birdie is worth three points, a par is worth one point, and a double bogey or worse is worth minus two points.

Curry finished with 75 points, two more than runner-up Mardy Fish, a former professional tennis player who won this tournament in 2020. Fish was three points ahead of Curry going into the 18th hole, but he made par.

Curry’s ace on the 152-yard, par-3 seventh hole went viral for the second time this weekend.

‘I was hitting the ball pretty solid, so I thought I’d have a chance,’ Curry explained. ‘I was surprisingly calm on the putt. ‘The last five feet felt like they were moving in slow motion.’

Fish tied Curry after birdies on three of the first six holes. When Curry bogeyed the 11th, 12th, and 14th holes, he took the lead.

Curry shot 72 points in traditional scoring on Sunday. Fish shot the day’s best round, a 3-under 69.

Curry, who has long admired golf, said winning the ACC was “something you dream about.”

Dallas Stars forward Joe Pavelski finished third with 66 points, former major league pitcher Mark Mulder finished fourth, and New York Jets quarterback Aaron Rodgers finished fifth, one spot ahead of LPGA Tour legend Annika Sorenstam.

Former pitcher Derek Lowe finished seventh, while defending champion Tony Romo came in eighth.

Curry is the tournament’s first Black winner in its 34-year history. He is the fifth active athlete to win, and the first since Al del Greco of the Tennessee Titans in 2000. Because Curry is an amateur golfer, his $125,000 first-place prize will be donated to charity.
