Let's have a safe and healthy Autumn and look forward to a safe and healthy snow-filled ski season; beginning this day,

NBC's 2021 American Century Champion is Vinnie Del Negro, NBA legendary player, coach & announcer.
Decided by a one-round playoff, Del Negro, 69 pts,bested the leader Jon Smoltz, on the 18th hole to force the playoff and won in Sudden Death.
Smoltz finished 2nd with 69 pts; Tony Romo, recent two-time champ, finished 3rd with 66 pts.
Annika Sorenstam returned to the event after her appearance in 2014, where she ended tied for 2nd, and finished 4th with 61 pts in 2021.
More reports & photos for Sunday, July 11, 2021 - Del Negro got an emotional win after tying Smoltz on 18 and winning in a one-hole playoff. The fourth playoff in ACC history.
Later he annouced his father had passed away earlier in the week as he fought back tears discussing his win.
Smoltz, Hall of Fame MLB Pitcher, had 25 pts on Day 1 and 26 pts on Day 2 but could only get to 18 pts on Sunday to be tied for first with 69 pts.
He then lost to Vinnie Del Negro in a one-hole playoff after hitting his 3rd shot into a lake on the Par 5, 18th hole.

LPGA legend Annika Sorenstam finished in 4th place with 64 pts, scoring only 18 Stableford pts on Day 3.
