Mike Modano makes first-ever albatross in American Century Championship, ties for lead

Mike Modano’s second shot from 200 yards out went in the hole, giving him 10 points and vaulting him into a tie for the lead.

SOUTH LAKE TAHOE, Nev. — The best start he’s ever had puts John Smoltz a step closer to realizing a goal he has long held, winning the American Century Championship celebrity golf tournament at Edgewood Tahoe.

Smoltz scored 25 points in Friday’s first round, which put him in a tie atop the leaderboard with Mike Modano.

Smoltz, the former Major League Baseball pitcher and Hall of Famer has always golfed well at Edgewood, but has never won.

He said getting out to a strong start was paramount this year.

Modano made a double-eagle on the par-5 No. 18, the first time that has been done in tournament history, for 10 points on the hole and 25 for the day.

Modano, who said he was about 200 yards out on his second shot on No. 18, was still in disbelief after his round.

“I can’t believe it. I can’t believe it. We were struggling between the 6 and 7. I was, like, I just want to try to ride the wind and just avoid Laimbeer’s Lake there and get on the putting surface,” Modano said. “It came off good. My eyesight is shot at 51. So I’m, like, I can’t see things halfway off the club. TJ (Oshie) went crazy. And some people over by the side went nuts. I was like, man, that may have went in. So pretty cool.”

Two-time winner Jack Wagner also had a strong start, scoring 24 points Friday as did Joe Pavelski. Kyle Williams, Vinny Del Negro and Annika Sorenstam each scored 23.

Wagner, 61, is one of two players, along with Jim McMahon, to compete in all 32 celebrity tournaments at Edgewood.

Smoltz made five birdies Friday, worth 3 points each, and had three putts lip out, or he could had an even better round.

The fans are back at Edgewood this year, after not being allowed in 2020, and the energy was palpable.

Especially along No, 17, the beach hole, where boats and fans lined both sides of the fairway and green.

Smoltz noticed the difference.

“It’s awesome. I absolutely love it. With that comes a little bit of nerves,” he said. “The beauty of today, our group was Joe Buck and Joe Mauer and the pace was consistent. So it didn’t feel like the 30-minute, 20-minute waits which really helps me because of my body.

Smoltz, 57, has been telling anyone who would listen that he really wants to win the ACC.

“I think they thought I was crazy, my life would be incomplete if I don’t win Tahoe. They’re like, ‘you can’t be serious,'” Smoltz said. “I’m serious. This is the event I’ve always wanted. It’s followed my career. I’m supposed to win a Cy Young, and finally did in ’96. But you’re always trying to feel like, when people tell you should win or win a Cy Young and you’re not doing it, even though my expectations are higher — it’s the same feeling here. It’s like, oh, I can’t believe you haven’t won yet. All my buddies back home. I want to be the oldest winner and I can kind of shut them up.”

Sorenstam had an appreciative following Friday. She joked that they are her neighbors.

“The first tee was special. But even throughout the other holes. They’re so positive and cheering on and encouraging. It’s really nice to see that,” Sorenstam said. “It’s not something I’m used to now. And to go up there it makes me want to play well and hit good shots. I’m thankful they came out and are watching and hopefully they’ll have a good time as well.”

The celebrities competing in the celebrity golf tournament at Edgewood this week seem to think Charles Barkley has, indeed, improved at golf.

Barkley, the NBA analyst, Hall of Fame player and a fan favorite, has forever battled his swing and almost always placed last or second to last in the field of about 85-90 celebrities.

But after last year’s tournament, he began working with golf coach Stan Utley, and the talk has been that Barkley’s game was much improved.

That led to the Caesars Sportsbook by William Hill to post the following proposition bet: Will Barkley finish among the top 70?

A ‘yes’ opened at 16-to-1, meaning a $100 bet would return $1,600, but betting in support of Barkley was so strong at Caesars and William Hill platforms that the odds kept dropping. When betting closed at the start of Barkley’s first round Friday at Edgewood Tahoe Golf Course, it was down to 4-to-1.

After Friday’s round, Barkley was tied for 82nd place with minus-16 points.

The 54-hole tournament concludes Sunday. It is televised live on NBC (Saturday and Sunday), as well as live streamed on the NBC Sports app.

Annika Sorenstam expects to compete with celebrities at American Century, but golf is not priority anymore

She is one of the greatest women golfers to ever play the game, but this week is more about having fun for Annika Sorenstam.

RENO, Nev. – She is one of the greatest women golfers to ever play the game, but this week is more about having fun for Annika Sorenstam.

It’s also a homecoming, of sorts, for the retired Swedish golfer.

Sorenstam, who lives part-time at Lake Tahoe, last played in the American Century Championship celebrity golf tournament in 2014, when she finished in second place with 65 points.

She is an eight-time Player of the Year on the LPGA tour and a Hall of Famer.

Before playing the tournament in 2014, Sorenstam played a practice round on the back nine with Michael Jordan Sorenstam and Ahmad Rashad. She shot a 33 that day.

“That was a lot of fun. That’s what this tournament brings. It brings out the best in all these different athletes. And obviously to get a chance to play with Michael Jordan was a treat,” Sorenstam said of that practice round.

Sorenstam retired in 2008 and has been focusing on raising her children since then. But one of her sons, Will, is picking up the game, which is getting Sorenstam back on the course more often.

She will turn 51 later this year and said playing on a senior tour for women is a possibility.

Her husband will be her caddie this week for the celebrity tournament.

She expects to compete, but is still not at the level she was as an elite pro.

“I worked a little bit on my game just to fine-tune it. Especially when you’re away, I would have a few good holes, but it’s always one or two holes that would ruin the round,” she said. “I’m trying to get a little more consistent and try to go out there and score and finish up and not just pick up those three-footers and walk the fairways and not just ride the golf course. So it’s nice to be back and just really enjoying it.”

[vertical-gallery id=778069317]

Sorenstam said that while golf is not her priority, being back on a course fires up her competitive nature.

“It’s funny, there’s certain things that don’t go away and some things go away. When I’m out there playing, some things feel very natural and there’s some things that don’t feel so natural. I would say once I’m inside the ropes I’m still quite competitive,” Sorenstam said. “I like the feel when hitting a good shot and I like the feeling of making a putt. And that I don’t think will ever go away. But I think I’m having an easier time leaving the course and forgetting about my shots.”

Immediately after Thursday’s celeb-am, her attention turned to her family and what they were doing for dinner.

She appreciates the variety in her life now, saying golf is part of it, but not the main focus.

“I’m wearing all these different hats. It’s nice to be able to have that option and not just feel like golf is my life and that’s the only thing I have in the country,” she said. “I feel like I have a lot of really nice things going, whether it’s the Annika Foundation and my partners. I keep busy. It’s nice to be able to leave the game on the course and just move on.”

Sorenstam is one of the betting favorites in the ACC this week, at 8-to-1 odds.

But she said she does not worry about odds and does not know much about betting.

“The key for me this week is, other than just having fun, is just play my own game,” she said. “I don’t hit it as far as these guys. And if I can hit fairways and greens and have birdie opportunities, it’s going to be fun. And hopefully, I can post something, and we’ll see where that puts me.”

She said Edgewood is drying out a little this week, especially on the greens, which should help her game.

Sorenstam is one of three women playing in the ACC this week, along with Kira K. Dixon and Dylan Dreyer.

She’d like to see more women playing the ACC, athletes and from other fields such as acting or singing.

“I know with COVID it’s a little restricted with some of the events, but this is a fun week. This is a party week. This is social week,” Sorenstam said. “This is building memories and friendships. And I think that’s what many of the players are looking forward to.”

She won’t have the distance as most of the players in the field this week, but her short game should make up for that.

“I have to have the mindset of trying to hit the fairway, trying to get on the green first, and show them where the flag is,” she said. “That’s really what this game is about, is about getting the ball in the hole. You can only do what you can do. And I’m very aware of my strengths and aware of my weaknesses and where I am today. And just putting a good score together, it’s what I’m going to try and do. And like I say, we’ll see how many points there will be and we’ll see where that puts me.”

So many more hockey games need to be played next to a lake

Give us more of this!

This is the online version of our morning newsletter, The Morning Win. Subscribe to get irreverent and incisive sports stories, delivered to your mailbox every morning. 

The NHL taught us two things over the weekend – outdoor hockey games next to a lake are the best hockey games and you should probably take weather into account when scheduling an outdoor hockey game next to a lake.

But seriously, the two games that were played in Lake Tahoe on Saturday and Sunday were beyond awesome. They were stunning. They were jaw-dropping. They were so much fun.

And now there needs to be a lot more of them. I know we can’t play every hockey game next to a lake for various reasons but someone in the NHL should be doing the right thing and planning out many more of these things.

In case you missed it, Las Vegas and Colorado kicked things off on Saturday with an afternoon game next to the lake. The sun was shining, which isn’t good for ice and glare and eventually led to a 9-hour delay after the first period, which isn’t good, either. That sun delay led to a lot of jokes and rightfully so – the NHL should have thought more about the possibility of the sun shining down on their rink.

But that 9-hour delay did lead to some pretty incredible/haunting images from some night hockey by the lake.

Sunday’s Flyers-Bruins game was then pushed back to 7 p.m. ET start so things would be a lot easier on the rink and for the players.

The NHL has long been staging a few outdoor games each year. Usually those games have been played in football stadiums, which is cool for a bit but most football stadiums are simply way too big for a hockey game and way too boring for a hockey game.

The NHL should now look to find more beautiful spots in the great outdoors where these games can be played, preferably with lakes in the area. More people talked about hockey this weekend than they have all season and it’s because the images from these games next to a lake were so darn awesome.

I grew up in the Boston area and we’d play hockey games on things called cranberry bogs, which nobody outside of Boston knows about and I’m sure those people would love to see a hockey game played on those things.

They could hold numerous games actually on lakes in Minnesota.

And I have to think there are some incredible spots in Canada to have a ton of games.

We need more outdoor games in our lives and we need them in spots where you might not have ever thought would host a professional hockey game.

Let’s get weird, NHL. The time is now.

Quick hits: PGA Tour winner’s priceless reaction… J.J. Redick’s lame ejection … The Mahomes welcome baby daughter… And more. 

– Max Homa’s emotional reaction after winning a PGA Tour event in his hometown was so great.

– J.J. Redick got ejected from Sunday’s game against the Celtics for such a lame reason.

– Patrick Mahomes and his fiancée Brittany Matthews announced the birth of their daughter, Sterling, on Instagram.

– NBA refs ruined Saturday night’s Heat-Warriors game.

– UFC heavyweight Derrick Lewis had a really impressive/brutal knockout Saturday night.

The NHL’s extremely late Lake Tahoe game created some haunting scenes

Playing hockey in the dead of night.

Everybody dunked on the NHL on Saturday when its plan to play a game on the shores of Lake Tahoe failed because the sun came out, reflected off all the white snow and made it both impossible to see and impossible for the ice to stay ice.

How was the league supposed to predict this well-understood and completely expected scientific phenomenon?!?!

Yes, the NHL probably should have had a better plan in place, but ultimately I think the league deserves some credit for trying something unique in the first place. Sports has been disrupted in so many ways over the past year. We’re accustomed to adapting by now, no?

Besides, the fact that the final two periods of the Avalanche-Golden Knights game was delayed until 12 p.m. ET (or 9 local in Tahoe) meant that we got interesting photos of a different sort.

There are no mountains rising in the background. No shimmering lake. Instead the game was played against a pitch-black backdrop — and won by Colorado, 3-2, in a contest that ended up taking 10 hours and 37 minutes to complete.

Here’s how it looked once it finally got going again.

Watch: Bear falls through ice, struggles to climb out

Witnesses felt helpless when a bear walking toward them on thin ice fell through and struggled to climb out of the frigid water. It was captured on video.

Family and friends were enjoying a birthday gathering at a rental house in South Lake Tahoe when they noticed a bear coming at them, walking gingerly over a lagoon covered in thin ice that could be heard cracking.

Suddenly, the bear fell through the ice and began struggling to escape.

The incident occurred in December at the south side of the Tahoe Keys Lagoon and was recorded by Alyssa Garcia. It was posted publicly for the first time Monday via ViralHog.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_Wvc1wx16_E

“Oh no,” Garcia exclaims in the video. “Oh no. Babe, call animal control.”

It took nearly two minutes for the bear to climb out of the frigid water and right itself on the ice. It then wandered back to where it came from, shaking the water out of its fur as it went.

Garcia explained further, telling USA Today/For The Win Outdoors:

“My boyfriend and my son were outside playing when they saw the bear. It’s still kinda far from where we are. Then after a few minutes, we notice that he is coming towards us. It’s a little scary at first because this was our first time to see a bear up close in the wilderness…

Also on FTW Outdoors: Skier chased by bear down slope escapes with a shrewd move

“I was so nervous for the bear because we thought he won’t be able to make it! So, I started asking everyone if they can call the ‘Animal Control.’ To be honest, I really don’t know who to call at that time. But thank goodness he was able to pull himself up. The bear just turned around and started walking towards the forest.”

And no worse for wear, apparently.

Steph Curry 12-1 favorite in American Century Championship celebrity golf tournament

In Steph Curry’s eighth appearance in the ACC celebrity golf tournament in Lake Tahoe, the Golden State Warriors guard is a 12-1 favorite.

Over the weekend, Stephen Curry is set to compete in the American Century Championship golf tournament. After finishing seventh with a score of 50 in the 2019 edition of the match, the Golden State Warriors point guard is coming off as a 12-1 favorite, according to William Hill Sports Book.

After winning the last two tournaments, former Dallas Cowboys’ signal-caller Tony Romo leads the board with even odds at Edgewood Resort in South Lake Tahoe, Nevada.

Curry will compete with former big-league hurlers Mark Mulder, Derek Lowe and John Smoltz. Although Case Keenum has more considerable odds than Curry in 2020 at 30-1, the NFL quarterback finished one spot above Golden State’s two-time MVP in 2019.

Via @warriorsworld on Twitter:

A star-studded cast will join Curry on the course in Lake Tahoe. Along with boxer Canelo Alvarez, Pro Bowlers Aaron Rodgers, Larry Fitzgerald, Adam Theilen, Patrick Peterson and Cooper Kupp, Super Bowl champion and 2019 NFL MVP Patrick Mahomes will make his ACC Tournament debut.

Adding to the top-flight field, Bay Area champions Jerry Rice and Steve Young will compete against Curry in the tournament.

According to Darren Rovell of the Action Network, the Warriors six-time All-Star will link up with his father Dell and Rodgers for the first round of the competition on Thursday.

American Century Championship will happen in Lake Tahoe, but without fans

The 31st annual American Century Championship tournament is set for July 8-12 in Lake Tahoe and Tony Romo will defend his crown.

After much speculation, due to the myriad worldwide sports cancellations, there is some good news from the athletic world: The American Century Championship celebrity golf tournament will be held at Edgewood-Tahoe this July.

But in an unusual yet necessary twist, spectators will not be allowed on the course to see, talk to and interact with the celebrity golfers.

The 31st annual ACC tournament is set for July 8-12 at Edgewood. It will be televised by NBC Sports.

The tournaments’ entire $600,000 purse will be donated to local and national charities that aid in COVID-19 relief.

The tournament has donated more than $5 million to charities over the years.

Officials with the ACC said there is no way to allow spectators amid the ongoing pandemic.

“Once our due diligence established that the tournament could be conducted safely, we were compelled to do everything possible to go forward in support of our friends in the Lake Tahoe resort community, who have hosted the event for 30 years,” American Century Investments CEO Jonathan Thomas said in a news release.

Carol Chaplin, president and CEO of the Lake Tahoe Visitors Authority, said holding the tournament sends a message of renewal for Lake Tahoe.

“While this 31st edition will be different than any previous tournament, this demonstrates a unique example of prominent stakeholders supporting each other and in turn, the destination and the community that absolutely loves this event,” Chaplin said.

Jon Miller, president of programming for NBC Sports, said it will be a challenge to televise the event, but said golf can played in a responsible, socially distanced way.

CBS Sports announcer and former Dallas Cowboys quarterback Tony Romo is the two-time defending champion and he is expected to try for his third straight title.

Last year, Romo became the fourth player in tournament history to successfully defend the title. Romo donated the $125,000 first prize to official tournament charity Stowers Institute for Medical Research.

Romo expressed his support for the decision to hold the tournament this year.

“The event has a tremendous tradition and is critical to that beautiful resort region,” he said. “It’ll be fun to try to win again, but the sense of community and charity fundraising will be most important.”

Retired Major League Baseball pitcher Mark Mulder won the tournament three straight years before Romo and is also expected to play.

Celebrities who have previously appeared at Edgewood include Steph Curry, Charles Barkley, Aaron Rodgers, Ray Romano, John Elway, Jerry Rice, Tony Romo and Justin Timberlake.

It was not known as of Thursday if Timberlake will play in it again this summer.

With the NBA opening up the possibility of playing an abbreviated season and playoffs in July and August, it is not known if Curry or any other NBA players will be able to participate in the ACC this summer.

But a full field is expected and there is always a waiting list among celebrities eager to play in the event.

Activity on the beach along Hole No. 17 will be curtailed, although there is no way to eliminate the boats that congregate there.

But those in the boats will not be allowed on the shore or to throw balls and other items to the golfers, as is the custom.

Solidarity with Tahoe

Sponsor American Century wanted to have the tournament this summer for the continuity aspect and to show solidarity with the South Lake Tahoe community.

NBC and tournament partners at Edgewood Tahoe and host hotels developed a comprehensive safety plan that includes enhanced cleaning protocols at both the course and hotels, on-course sanitation stations and restrictions on large organized dinners and evening events.

Only the celebrities and essential tournament staff will be allowed on the course and all will be required to follow social distancing guidelines.

The competition is a 54-hole modified Stableford format tournament often referred to as the Super Bowl of celebrity golf.

Curry and Romo will be joined by Aaron Rodgers, Charles Barkley, Jerry Rice and entertainment personalities including Ray Romano, Alfonso Ribeiro and Larry the Cable Guy, among others. A total of 13 Hall of Famers and 19 active NFL, NBA and NHL players are expected.

Several NFL coaches are expected, including Sean Payton, Saints; Matt Nagy, Bears; and Frank Reich, Colts.

Additional celebrity commitments will be announced in mid-June.

First-timers who have committed include Chris Harrison of “The Bachelor;” former MLB stars Adrian Beltre, Chase Utley and Brian McCann; plus Cooper Kupp, wide receiver and Andrew Whitworth, offensive tackle of the Los Angeles Rams.

PGA Tour’s Barracuda Championship moving to mountain course near Lake Tahoe

Tournament officials said they will continue to use a Modified Stableford scoring system for the event.

RENO, Nev. – The PGA Tour tournament that’s been held in Reno since 1999 is moving next summer to another mountain course designed by Jack Nicklaus about 30 miles away near Lake Tahoe, tournament officials announced Wednesday.

Barracuda Networks, a San Francisco Bay Area-based tech company, will continue to be the title sponsor of the Barracuda Championship, which is scheduled for July 2-5, 2020, at Tahoe Mountain Club’s Old Greenwood Golf Course at Truckee, California.

The tournament previously held at the Montreux Golf & Country Club course in Reno – also designed by Nicklaus – was named the Reno-Tahoe Open when it began in 1999 until Barracuda became the title sponsor in 2014.

Montreux members voted earlier this year to no longer host the tournament.

The 7,518-yard, par-72 Old Greenwood Golf Course opened in 2004 on 600 acres of forest in the Sierra Nevada. It sits at an elevation of about 6,000 feet where the golf ball travels 10 to 15 % farther than at sea level.

Tournament officials said they will continue to use a Modified Stableford scoring system awarding 2 points for birdies, 5 for eagle and 8 for double-eagle, while subtracting 1 point for bogey and 3 points for anything worse.
