Dominic Bozzelli came within an inch — an inch! — of making the second par-4 hole-in-one in PGA Tour history. Bozzelli was playing the 318-yard par-4 17th at TPC San Antonio’s AT&T Oaks Course on Saturday in the third round of the Valero Texas Open when he nearly jarred his tee shot. Unfortunately, we don’t […]
Minjee Lee makes par-4 ace at Kia Classic; 2nd in LPGA history, 2nd this year
March 27, 2016 by
It’s becoming an epidemic on the LPGA: par-4 holes-in-one. In 66 previous LPGA seasons, there had never been one. On Saturday at the 2016 Kia Classic, Minjee Lee made the second par-4 ace in the last two months. Playing the 234-yard par-4 16th at Aviara Golf Club during the third round of the tournament, Lee […]
Watson, then Mickelson make par-4 eagles at the PGA Championship
August 16, 2015 by
SHEBOYGAN, Wis. — Whistling Straits is playing more difficult on Sunday for the final round of the PGA Championship, but that doesn’t mean good scores aren’t to be had. Bubba Watson and Phil Mickelson both showed that the par-4 sixth hole, playing just 355 yards, can be where a big move is made for the […]
Aussie golfer’s great week: Par-4 ace, then wins at same time as fiancee
February 8, 2015 by
It has been a very good two-week stretch for Aussie pro Richard Green. Playing in the Oates Victorian Open this week in his native country, Green made a par-4 hole-in-one during the tournament pro-am. That’s cool enough. Then he managed to win the tournament on Sunday, prevailing in a two-hole, sudden-death playoff at Thirteenth Beach […]
Aussie pro makes a par-4 hole-in-one you just have to see
February 5, 2015 by
It’s not every day that you see a par-4 hole-in-one. In fact, it’s happened only once in the history of the PGA Tour — and that was thanks to a ricochet off another player’s putter. The break that gave Andrew Magee an ace at the par-4 17th at TPC Scottsdale in 2001, however, seems like […]
Gonzalo Fernandez-Castano nearly aced the par-4 4th at the PGA Championship
September 10, 2014 by
The PGA of America chose to move up the tees on the par-4 fourth hole for Saturday’s third round, giving players a chance to go for the green early in their round. The fourth is only playing 292 yards, and most players are going with driver and trying to knock it on for an eagle […]
John Daly makes 12 on par-4 on his way to a second round 90 at the Valspar Championship
March 15, 2014 by
Death, taxes and John Daly erupting at least once a year at a PGA Tour event. Those are the three things you can bank on and run with, and the latter happened on Friday at the Valspar Championship. Daly, who had made the cut in two of his four starts heading into this event, shot […]
Omega Dubai Desert Classic is offering $2.5 million prize for hole-in-one on par-4
February 2, 2014 by
Even if one of the professionals don’t win this weekend in Dubai they have a very good chance at leaving with more money that they probably ever expected to make thanks to this offer from tournament organizers. That’s because if you so happen to do the improbable on the par-4 17th hole on either Saturday […]
Ben Crane nearly aces the par-4 17th at the Waste Management Open
February 1, 2014 by
It’s pretty incredible when you think about it, but there has only been one hole-in-one on a par-4 in the history of the PGA Tour. Where did it take place? On the 17th hole at TPC Scottsdale, a relatively short par-4 that allows players to pound driver at the green if only they can avoid […]
PGA Tour player Jason Kokrak makes hole-in-one on 409-yard par-4 during pro-am
November 7, 2013 by
Sports writers toss around the cliche, “you don’t see this everyday” a lot, but in the case of Jason Kokrak at the McGladrey Classic Pro-Am, we’ve seen this on the PGA Tour only once … ever. Kokrak, a 28-year-old from Ontario, Canada, was playing in the pro-am at a PGA Tour stop on Wednesday when […]
