Matt Boldy is putting his Olympic gold medal to good use at the American Century Championship this week.
The 25-year-old Minnesota Wild star is enjoying an impressive showing in Lake Tahoe through two rounds, including showing off a stellar drive and impressive putting chops, but possibly the most creative thing Boldy has done this weekend is use his gold medal from the 2026 Milan Cortina Olympic Games as a ball marker.
The fans loved it, and the broadcast team loved it too.
“Well, Jimmy, if you had a gold medal, you’d probably use it as a ball marker as well.”
Boldy is currently T-13 through 36 holes with 27 points under the modified Stableford format that the ACC uses. He carded an eagle on Edgewood Tahoe South’s par-5 18th on Friday and has scored four birdies total.
He also seems to be having the time of his life, playing alongside good friends the Tkachuk brothers and winning the celebrity karaoke contest with the brothers as well.
The gold medals are particularly fitting at the ACC — not just because of all the athletes in attendance, but also because this upcoming Tuesday marks two years out until the 2028 LA Olympics.
Matt Boldy is showing OFF on the course this weekend. 🔥
