At one point during the third round of the American Century Championship, golf fans erupted into loud cheers. The reason? Steph Curry. So far in his illustrious career, the Golden State Warriors star has made countless staggering shots on the basketball court. On Saturday, he managed to take the golf world by storm as well.

Curry has been a lifelong fan of the sport, and his latest display of golfing chops has the ability to make even pro golfers envious! Let’s jump right in to find out more about the 35-year-old’s heroics in the ongoing celebrity golf tournament.

Steph Curry makes an unbelievable shot at the American Century Championship

There are several pro athletes who often take up golf as a sort of pastime. For 4-time NBA champion Steph Curry, however, the game is definitely an extremely passionate endeavor.

Curry’s love for golf was evidenced by his spirited celebrations after he made a beautiful hole-in-one at the famed Edgewood Tahoe golf course on Saturday. The flawless shot had come on the 152-yard par-3 seventh hole. Curry then took off his hat, held a finger in the air, and dashed to the hole to smack the flag, eventually falling to the ground with sheer joy etched on his face!

So, who is aiding the basketball star in honing his golfing skills? Well, last month, he was working on a new swing with none other than the legendary Butch Harmon!

While Harmon has taught a lot of great golfers over the years, his best protégé to date is the 15-time major winner Tiger Woods. Greg Norman, Phil Mickelson, and Nick Faldo are some of the other notable pros who have worked with him.
