Mardy Fish is still striking the ball with extreme brilliance! But the only difference is that it’s not a tennis racket this time. Instead, it’s a golf club. The former tennis player is currently playing in the ACC Championship golf tournament at Lake Tahoe. He shot 71 and 65 in the first two rounds to top the leaderboard. Moreover, American Ice Hockey player Joe Pavelski and NFL player Adam Thielen are behind him in the second and third ranks, respectively.
Notably, Fish previously won the tournament against Kyle Williams in 2020. In fact, he entered the 35th edition of the celebrity tournament after being runner-up in the 2023 edition. He lost to NBA star Steph Curry by merely two points.
The ACC Championship has a different scoring system. Unlike other official golf tournaments, it gives points for pars, birdies, eagles, and bogeys. Mardy Fish earned 23 points in the first round and gathered 34 points in the second round.
