Power became the fifth Irishman ever to have a hole-in-one in the Par 3 Contest after Darren Clarke (2001, second hole), Pádraig Harrington (2006, ninth), Graeme McDowell (2010, ninth) and Shane Lowry (2019, second), and he is just the fourth player ever to have two holes-in-one in the same Par 3 Contest.
Rickie Fowler gets applause from the crowds at the WM Phoenix Open simple by throwing a few blades of grass in the air, he’s that much a fan favourite in the Arizona desert. So imagine what the reaction would be if he were to make a hole in one on one of the par 3s at TPC Scottsdale?
When John Key stunned everyone by stepping down as New Zealand Prime Minister in 2016, we (kinda) jokingly speculated he was doing it to play more golf.
You remember the old saw about the tree falling in the woods? Well, how about this one: If a hole-in-one falls on the PGA Tour, and nobody reacts, did it actually happen?
Usually you see something like this happen and the player gets the keys to a new Buick or Kia. But no offence to Buick or Kia, but, well, this isn’t a Buick or Kia.
