At this rate Stephen Curry is going to have the best summer since Walt Disney opened his first theme park.
It was announced Monday that Curry, for the second consecutive year, has been invited to compete in the Web.com Tour’s Ellie Mae Classic August 9-12 at Hayward’s TPC Stonebrae Country Club. Curry, an avid golfer, will play courtesy of an unrestricted sponsor exemption.
“We are thrilled,” tournament director Trish Gregovich said in a statement.
They should be thrilled. For Curry, it’s just another day that ends in “Woo-hoo-hoooooooo!” Let’s review:
June 8: Curry and the Warriors sweep the Cleveland Cavaliers in the NBA Finals, winning their third title in four years.
June 12: Parade!
July 2: Helps recruit All-Star center DeMarcus Cousins to the Warriors.
July 4: It’s a boy!
July 13-15: Participates in a celebrity golf tournament at Lake Tahoe.
Now this. Curry played in the Ellie Mae last summer, shooting two rounds of 74.
“Golf is a game that has provided wonderful experiences in my life,” Curry said in a statement, “and I am excited to return to the Ellie Mae Classic.”
To be sure, Curry’s excellent summer has had a couple disappointments. One: He lost a bet to his father Dell at the celebrity event and had to jump into the frigid water of Lake Tahoe. Which he did — from the roof of a yacht.
And two: He was unable to squeeze in the Team USA basketball minicamp in Las Vegas.
Hey, he can’t have everything. Where would he put it?
