Summer isn’t truly here until Joe Pavelski shines at the American Century Championship. The Dallas Stars forward, with 18 NHL seasons under his belt, racked up 21 points, tying for third place after one round on Friday. This three-round event, rich in sports and entertainment star power, will conclude Sunday at Edgewood Tahoe South, a Par-72, 6,709-yard course in Lake Tahoe.
Edgewood Tahoe South employs the Stableford scoring format, where points are awarded based on performance per hole. A hole-in-one scores eight points, eagles earn six, birdies three, pars one, bogeys receive zero, and double bogeys or worse result in minus two points.
Pavelski’s performance was anticipated, as he often finishes near the top. This standout round came a day after his 40th birthday, adding another highlight to his impressive record at the tournament.
