STATELINE -- Former NFL quarterback Mark Rypien finally got his elusive second celebrity golf win, taking a rain-soaked American Century Championship victory on Sunday at Edgewood Tahoe Golf Course.

Rypien, who also won the inaugural event, held off the field with 76 points in the modified Stableford format on the silver anniversary of the event. He was in one of the final groups who waited out a nearly 3-hour, 15-minute weather delay because of severe thunderstorms in South Lake Tahoe.

Rypien's final round ties the tournament record for most points scored in a single round. He had 33 points, which matched Billy Joe Tolliver's 2010 second round.

Former NHL player Jeremy Roenick and LPGA Hall of Famer Annika Sorensetam finished tied for second with 65 points.

A severe thunderstorm warning and flash flood watch were issued for Douglas County in the early afternoon. Lightning in the South Lake Tahoe area forced golfers and fans to take shelter. A round has never not been completed in the tournament's 25-year history.

During Saturday's second round, a 47-minute weather delay affected the final three groups. They were able to finish their rounds.
