Champion on the court – and the course! On July 16 in S. Lake Tahoe, Golden State Warrior and NBA champion Steph Curry had what he describes as “one of his greatest moments” in his sports career. Curry, in true super-star fashion, topped his Saturday hole-in-one with a 20-foot eagle putt on the final hole of the tournament to win the American Century Championship Sunday at Edgewood Tahoe Golf Course on the shores of Lake Tahoe.

Curry said of his win: ” I don’t do this (golf) for a living, so it’s something you dream about,” said Curry, whose ace on the 152-yard seventh hole on Saturday and win on Sunday, was covered live on the NBC telecast and viewed by millions around the world after going viral. “I’ve been playing in this tournament for almost a decade and now I’ve got some hardware to show for it. It’s pretty special.”
