Despite a weekend that included two PGA Tour stops, two women’s tour events and a Champions Tour major, it was Steph Curry who owned the viral video space.
The four-time NBA champion’s weekend at the American Century Championship featured a wild hole-in-one celebration and a walk-off eagle putt to claim victory.
Making the walk-off eagle putt even more viral, Curry began his celebration before the ball even dropped in the hole.

Mardy Fish actually had a chance to win with a birdie attempt, but once he missed, the former tennis star told Curry “to make it.”
Which he did.

“That comment was real,” said Curry. “Like he knew what the stakes were as soon as he missed that birdie chance to win it, he said that (“make it”) to me.
“And it was cool just to accept it, fall into my routine.
“I still can’t believe I made it. It was crazy.”
