Stephen Curry won the Celebrity U.S. Championships in Tahoe, Nevada, on Sunday with a stellar performance that included an ace on day two and closing with an eagle on day three. It was the first victory of an NBA star in this tournament.
However, his victory was marred by an incident involving Mardy Fish on the 18th hole. Someone, presumably a fan, screamed the moment Fish hit the ball with his driver. The former tennis player’s shot was completely derailed and went into the trees lining the fairway on the right hand side.
Up until that point, Mardy Fish was in the midst of competition with Stephen Curry, with a real chance of winning the championship. This unfortunate event completely removed him from contention.
Many fans weren’t too happy about the incident and took out their frustration with Stephen Curry and his victory. Here are some of their reactions on Twitter:
“Fake win”.
“theft.”
“A tainted win, but a win.”
“One of his fans must have betrayed him but sure.”
“I noticed that when interviewing Steve—NBC ignored the fact that a ‘fan’ stole the championship from Mardi Fish. How could you cover it up?”
“Sad ending – great for Steve but that fan made it possible.”
Mardi’s fish was stolen.
“The fan who yelled should be banned from coming back.”
“His fans are cheated.”
