Golden State Warriors star Stephen Curry isn’t a one-trick pony.
Besides being the greatest shooter of all time, he also happens to be an excellent golfer.
He showcased his skills again by knocking down a now-viral hole-in-one on Saturday, capping it off by winning the American Century Championship.
When talking about this major accomplishment, No. 30 took some time to sarcastically thank Sacramento Kings fans for helping him stay locked in and motivated, stating that he heard a lot of them yelling ‘Light the beam’ at him.
“I heard a lot of, ‘Light the Beam! … It gave me a lot of gas in the tank too.”

It’s safe to say that Kings fans don’t have a lot of love for Steph.
The Warriors put an end to their promising campaign by taking them down in the first round of the playoffs in an exciting seven-game series, with the Kings being the first team to ever go up 2-0 on the Warriors since Steve Kerr took over in 2014.
That battle for Northern California was one for the ages and one that could mark the beginning of a new era in Sac-Town.
Even so, Curry and the Warriors will continue to have bragging rights until proven otherwise, and it might take a while before Mike Brown’s team is ready to take them down.
The Warriors have made some interesting moves in the offseason to try and go back to their title-winning ways, whereas the Kings will have mostly the same core next season.
Again, if things don’t work out with Steph and company, it seems like he could have another long and successful career in a different sport.
