Steph Curry Electrified Sports Fans With Hole in One at Celebrity Golf Tournament

Steph Curry, multisport athlete?
The Warriors guard may not have been drafted into Major League Baseball, as his dad was out of both high school and college. However, Curry has proven time and time again to be a very capable golfer—an outlet that hit its crescendo Saturday afternoon.
At the American Century Championship, the annual 54-hole celebrity golf tournament at Edgewood Tahoe Golf Course in Stateline, Nev., Curry aced the par-3 seventh hole to add to his lead.
Curry came out firing in the tournament, tallying 27 points in the first round under the Modified Stableford scoring system. The ace in the second round gave him eight points, the reward for scoring two or more strokes under par.
It also garnered him acclaim throughout the sports world.
Some immediately compared the shot to his otherworldly basketball feats.
This shot was the distance of 19 NBA 3-pointers.

Calls were made for Curry to keep up his golf exploits.
