STATELINE, Nev. — Former NHL all-star Joe Sakic made a US$1 million hole-in-one Sunday at the par-3 17th at the American Century Celebrity Golf Championship at Lake Tahoe.

Sakic pockets half the check with the other $500,000 going to Lance Armstrong’s Livestrong Foundation for cancer research, courtesy of an insurance policy purchased by the tourney’s Kansas City-based sponsor.

The former NHL MVP and two-time Stanley Cup winner with the Colorado Avalanche used an eight-iron on the 162-yard waterfront hole where dozens of yachts and boats anchor during the annual three-day tournament at Edgewood Tahoe Golf Course.
