Steph Curry may be an NBA superstar, but fans everywhere showed their love when he sank that walk-off eagle putt to win the American Century Championship.
Steph Curry made this week at the American Century Championship memorable, from the iconic hole-in-one celebration to the walk-off eagle putt to win.
He didn’t even watch his winning putt go into the hole before celebrating. Curry is undeniably one of the best NBA shooters ever, but he is also one of the most clutch.

Steph Curry sank an 18-foot downhill eagle putt on the 18th hole to seize the win at the American Century Championship.
Steph Curry is having a great day. He sank an improbable downhill 18-foot eagle putt on the 18th hole to win the American Century Championship. The moment was incredible as he and the fans enjoyed the moment together.
Curry tossed his hat in the air and sprinted to join the fans in unison.
Look out below! Sunday’s NBA Summer League game between the Houston Rockets and Utah Jazz saw one of the nastier shots to the groin seen in sports all year.
The nutty play went down in the first half.
Houston Rockets rookie Nate Hinton was accidentally pushed to the ground by his teammate, landing under the rim where Utah Jazz forward Ed Croswell was left hanging after a dunk.
Croswell eventually gave up his grip and crashed his right foot right on Hinton’s jewels.
The “stomp” looked brutal.

Steph Curry needed an eagle to win the American Century Championship, and he made it happen, finally getting his moment at Lake Tahoe.
Steph Curry is a shooter, and as the saying goes, “Shooters shoot.” He took his shot, which paid off as he made a walk-off eagle putt on the par-5 18th to win the American Century Championship.
Curry from deep for the win… we wouldn’t expect anything else
He is a baller on and off the court ⛳️

People are red-hot over an ‘antisemitic remark’ made by MLB Hall of Famer, Johnny Bench. The former Cincinnati Red attended Saturday’s Reds Hall of Fame induction press conference, set to honor former general manager Gabe Paul and pitchers Bronson Arroyo and Danny Graves.
The departed Paul (1910-1998) wore his Jewish faith on his sleeve.
Baseball player Johnny Bench of the Cincinnati Reds. Bench hit more than 200 home runs and was the National League’s Most Valuable Player on several occasions.
Steph Curry is the 2023 American Century Championship winner. And he won the celebrity golf tournament in extremely dramatic fashion. Trailing going into the final hole of the tournament, Curry sank a long-eagle putt to capture victory. But just minutes before, a major controversy took place.
Curry entered the final round with 50 points. The American Century uses modified-Stableford scoring instead of the traditional stroke-play format. He led former tennis player — and 2020 American Century Champion — Mardy Fish.
Yankees All-Star starting pitcher Gerrit Cole turned in another outstanding outing on Sunday, throwing 102 pitches across six innings in a no-decision against the Rockies. Cole struck out 11 batters in the game, marking the 24th 10-plus strikeout performance of his tenure in New York.
That tally lifts him above legendary southpaw Ron Guidry for the most such games in franchise history. Guidry’s record stood since 1988 when the four-time All-Star retired from MLB.
The 11 strikeouts on Sunday tied a season-high for the Yankees ace.
Each year, the American Century Championship pits celebrities and athletes against one another for a golf tournament. Don’t let all the fun fool you — these players want to win. Tony Romo is a three-time champion, including last year. But he didn’t repeat this year. In fact, he wasn’t even the best NFL/former NFL finisher. That goes to new Jets quarterback Aaron Rodgers.
Rodgers is an avid golfer himself. However, he doesn’t have the time to dedicate to the game that Romo does since he’s still playing in the NFL.
