Stephen Curry He is the player who has scored the most triples in the history of NBA (has 3,117). With the Golden State Warriors shirt he just won his fourth championship ring after beating the Boston Celtics in the decisive series and for the first time he won the Finals MVP. But the base does not only have one goal in basketball: this Friday he proved that in golf he also shoots from everywhere.
The 34-year-old point guard has been invited to participate in the American Century Championship celebrity tournament. And on the 13th hole on Friday, he generated the highest peak of the day: got a 97-yard eagle to arouse applause from the audience.
An eagle is when a golfer hits the ball two strokes below par for a hole.
Curry was five above par on the front nine, but pared the back nine to finish the day with a 77, five above par and 16 points in the tournament scoring system.
This Saturday will play the second round which will also be attended by singer Justin Timberlake, Charles Barkley, Patrick Mahomes and Nick Jonas, among other celebrities.
