STATELINE, Nev. — After finishing second last year in a thrilling duel, Mardy Fish might have had a small chip on his shoulder.

But Fish is known for handling his emotions well, as well as having a dry, sarcastic sense of humor.

He made up for last year's disappointing second-place finish by capturing the title on Sunday in the American Century Championship at Edgewood Tahoe.

He finished with 83 points in the Modified Stableford scoring system, after scoring 26 on Sunday, following a blistering tournament-record 34 points on Saturday.

Joe Pavelski was hot on his heels all week and finished second with 79 points. Annika Sorenstam was third with 68 and John Smoltz finished fourth with 64.

Fish won $150,000 for first place, an increase over previous payouts. Last year Curry won $125,000. Fish's score was one point off the tournament record of 84 set by Billy Joe Tolliver in 2010.

Fish also won the ACC in 2020, when no spectators were allowed at Edgewood. His entire payday that yer was donated to charities around Lake Tahoe.

⁘No big deal. ⁘It gives you time to go mingle with your buddies you haven't seen. I saw Larry Fitz (Fitzgerald), he was coming off No. 9, going to 10. And we were just about to tee off ⁘ first time I'd seen him all week. We're good buddies; he's a Minnesota boy and so am I,⁘ Fish said. ⁘I was texting with Travis Kelce all week. And he's, I'm going to find you tomorrow, period. And we had the delay. So you get to kind of see those people that ⁘ I don't see those guys very often other than here or maybe Orlando or something like that.⁘
