Steph Curry goes wild after epic hole-in-one at celebrity tournament

Curry aced the par-3 seventh gap on the American Century Championship at Edgewood Tahoe Golf Course on Saturday, holing out from 153 yards.
The Warriors celebrity reacted with jubilance, dropping his membership and operating up the golf green like he had simply swished a game-winner.
“154 yards is a little longer than 94 feet on a basketball court,” Curry informed NBC after the hole-in-one. “I am going to be out of breath for the rest of the day, but for good reason.”
