Curry celebrated the shot by throwing his hat off and running with his arms in the air all the way down the 152-yard hole to the pin. In a quick interview with NBC, an out-of-breath Curry made note that the run to the pin is “a lot longer than 90 feet” for a basketball court.
“I am so excited right now, that is crazy,” Curry said. “I’ll be out of breath for the rest of the day, but for good reason though.” It’s the first-ever hole-in-one on the seventh hole in the 35-year history of the American Century Championship. It also pushed Curry further into the lead at the Tahoe tournament. Using the modified Stableford scoring system, the eight-point hole-in-one on the seventh hole gave Curry 43 total points through 25 holes, giving him a 10-point gap over the next-closest competitor .
Curry’s approach shot on the par-3 12th left him about 40 feet from the hole and up on a ridge. But the basketball sharpshooter displayed some finesse on the golf course, hitting his putt away from the hole and letting it ride the groove of the ridge straight into the cup.
