Tony Romo’s birdie on 15 sealed the 2018 American Century Championship on Sunday at Edgewood Tahoe Golf Course.

It was Romo’s first ACC title in six appearances. He finished in second three times. Romo came from behind to defeat three-time consecutive champ Mark Mulder.

It was only a matter of time before Mark Mulder stormed back during the American Century Championship, as thousands of sun-kissed fans once again packed the celebrity golf tournament at Edgewood Tahoe Golf Course on Saturday.

Winner of three straight ACC championships (2015-17), Mulder recorded a personal best 31 points on the Stableford scoring system. Finishing tied for 16th on day one, he’s in second place with 47 points on Day 2, one point behind Joe Pavelski with 48.

San Jose Sharks forward Joe Pavelski leads after Friday’s opening round of the 2018 American Century Championship, as thousands of fans watched on a sun-baked day at Tahoe’s celebrity golf tournament.

Pavelski ended the day with 25 points on the Stableford scoring system — his best round in three trips to Edgewood Tahoe. Pavelski tallied five birdies and three bogies.

To do that, he will have to dethrone former big league pitcher Mark Mulder, who is favored at 8-5 odds to take the ACC trophy — a mission he has accomplished for the last three years.

Recent updates to the Silver Oak Golf Course in Northwest Carson City are turning the assumption of golf as exclusive recreation on its head.
