Overview
- Mardy Fish closed out the 54-hole American Century Championship at Edgewood Tahoe with 72 points to win his third ACC title on Sunday.
- Defending champion Joe Pavelski finished second with 66 points after needing an eagle late in the final round and hitting a shot into the water on his attempt.
- Steph Curry placed third with 59 points while Annika Sörenstam and John Smoltz rounded out the top five on the final leaderboard.
- The ACC uses a modified Stableford format that awards six points for an eagle, three for a birdie, one for a par and minus two for a double bogey, a system that rewards aggressive play and produces rapid leaderboard shifts.
- Fish received the tournament’s crystal trophy, the white ‘‘lab coat’’ tradition and a reported $150,000 winner’s prize as organizers noted a record attendance figure that has been variably reported at 86,038 spectators.
