Charles Barkley Posts Best Golf Round at Tahoe Celebrity Tournament

Charles Barkley had a standout performance at the American Century Championship celebrity golf tournament at Edgewood Tahoe, marking his best round in 30 years and his career-best score at the event. On Friday, he scored an eagle on the par-4 second hole with a remarkable shot that rolled back into the hole, earning loud applause and viral recognition on social media. Barkley credited his improved play to his coach Stan Utley, who helped refine his swing and eliminate previous inconsistencies, allowing him to finish tied for 24th place out of 90 players after the first round. Despite this breakthrough, Barkley remains a long shot to win the tournament with odds of 7,500-1, though his recent performance has drawn some betting interest. The tournament features notable competitors like Joe Pavelski, Stephen Curry, and Tony Romo, who are among the favorites to win. Barkley expressed joy in his progress and continued enthusiasm for the game despite past struggles and unconventional swings.
