Jimmy Rollins is the big winner at the American Century Championship on Saturday afternoon.<\/p>\n
Though he\u2019s well out of contention at the annual celebrity golf tournament at Edgewood Tahoe Golf Course in Nevada, he did claim a brand new boat after hitting his first career hole-in-one.<\/p>\n

Rollins absolutely stuck his drive at the par-3 12th on Saturday and rolled his ball back into the cup for an ace. Naturally, that sparked a huge celebration on the tee. Rollins even ran up and tried to jump into the boat.<\/p>\n
Rollins finished the day in T45, well back of the leaders Joe Pavelski and Taylor Twellman. Those two were sitting at 44 in the tournament, which uses a modified Stableford format, entering the final day. Country singer Jake Owen was three shots back.<\/p>\n
Rollins played in Major League Baseball for 17 seasons, most of which were spent with the Philadelphia Phillies. The three-time All-Star and former MVP helped lead the franchise to their win in the 2008 World Series, too. After 15 years with the team, he played a season each with the Los Angeles Dodgers and Chicago White Sox before retiring after the 2016 campaign. He finished with a career batting average of .264 with 231 home runs.<\/p>\n

Thanks to Rollins, there has now been an ace in three straight years at the American Century Championship. Former Raiders wide receiver Tim Brown hit one last year to win a boat, and Golden State Warriors star Stephen Curry did the same in 2023.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Jimmy Rollins is the big winner at the American Century Championship on Saturday afternoon.
