Stephen Curry will set an NBA record by making $34.7 million for the 2017-18 season, but that doesn’t mean he’ll get to deposit anything close to that amount into his bank account.

When the dust of the day settled, Uihlein had gone from tied for 69th at 2-over at the start of his round to 7-under and three shots off Jason Day’s lead at 10-under. Uihlein’s round was highlighted by what he did on holes 5-10: birdie, birdie, birdie, birdie, birdie, eagle. For those of you scoring at home, that’s 7-under through that six-hole stretch.
