Four-time NBA champion and two-time NBA MVP Stephen Curry continued to prove his freakish athletic ability over the weekend when he ditched his mouthguard and basketball shoes for golf clubs. Curry became the first active athlete to win the 2023 American Century Championship, an annual celebrity golf tournament held at Lake Tahoe in Nevada.

After his victory, Curry was presented with the Winner’s Cup, which he later filled with his bourbon, Gentleman’s Cut. He posted two photos on his Instagram story: One showing the cup next to a bottle of Gentleman’s Cut Bourbon, and the next showing Curry drinking the whiskey from the cup.

Curry clearly had a blast winning the tournament, even making a hole-in-one en route to his championship.

Curry won the tournament with a walk-off eagle on the 18th hole.

Retired tennis player Mardy Fish placed second in the tournament, followed by Joe Pavelski of the NHL’s Dallas Stars, former MLB player Mark Mulder and New York Jets quarterback Aaron Rodgers.
