Watch: Golden State Warriors star Steph Curry makes a ‘no look’ birdie putt at the American Century Championship

Steph Curry once again showcased his golf skills by sinking an impressive 'no look' birdie putt during the first round of the 2023 American Century Championship.

On Friday, July 14, 93 eminent names from various fields teed off at Edgewood Tahoe South for the first round of the 2023 American Century Championship. Every year, the event is held to provide support for charitable organizations.

Curry scored 27 points in the first round of the American Century Championship to take the lead. On the par-3 hole 12, he executed the putt shot in a manner that resulted in the ball initially traveling straight for a few feet before veering left towards the slope, ultimately finding its way into the cup.

As soon as the Golden State Warriors point guard played the shot, he started walking away as if he was quite confident of it being a birdie. The moment the ball went in, the crowd erupted in celebration, and he celebrated it with a slow fist pump.

It's not as if Curry did something like this for the first time. The basketball legend is often seen playing golf and boasts a career handicap of +1.3, which is quite good even for a regular golf player. Last month he was seen playing Capital One's The Match where he and Klay Thompson were beaten by Patrick Mahomes and Travis Kelce.
