Joe Pavelski, a former Dallas Stars player, showcased his golfing skills at the American Century Championship by birdieing the last three holes to share the second-round lead with Taylor Twellman. Both competitors ended the day with 44 points in the modified Stableford scoring system. Pavelski, who had a strong first round, previously finished second in the tournament last year. Country singer Jake Owen trails close behind in third place with 41 points, while NFL receiver Adam Thielen is just a point further back.

The tournament saw notable performances including a hole-in-one by former baseball player Jimmy Rollins, who claimed a significant prize. Other athletes like Stephen Curry and three-time champion Tony Romo also participated but struggled to find consistency throughout their rounds.
