Where Warriors star Steph Curry finished at American Century Championship originally appeared on NBC Sports Bay Area
Warriors star Steph Curry came up short during the American Century Championship’s final round on Sunday in South Lake Tahoe.
The 2023 ACC champion won’t be hoisting the trophy again after finishing with a score of 58, good enough for fifth place. San Jose Sharks legend Joe Pavelski was the victor, posting 73 points for his first ACC win in nine tries after second-place finishes in 2022 and 2024.
It wasn’t a bad day for Curry on the course, however, as the four-time NBA champion entered the day tied for ninth and finished the round having scored 23 points under the tournament’s Modified Stableford scoring method, with four birdies and a double bogey on the final hole.
Curry scored 21 points with four birdies and five bogies in Round 1 on Friday, then tallied 14 points with two birdies, two bogies and two double bogies in Round 2 on Saturday.
Curry approached the 18th hole on Sunday trailing first place by just a few points, but he needed some Chef magic to pull off the comeback. He warmed up on his way to the hole with his first sport.
The swish didn’t rub off on Curry’s golf game, however, as he hit his tee shot out of bounds and eventually ended up in the water trap before finishing the tournament’s final hole with a double bogey.
Known for his competitive fire, Curry certainly wanted to win the ACC again after a one-year absence chasing Olympic gold last summer. But now he can focus on bringing the Larry O’Brien Trophy home to the Bay this upcoming NBA season.
