Better to be lucky than good!

Just in case you're wondering, The "1 for 5" comment is in regard to stableford points.

2 for par (nett)  - in his case actual par

3 for 1 under par (nett)

4 for 2 under par (nett)

5 for 3 under par (nett)

A player with two  shots on a hole who gets a birdie gets 5 points

I wonder how often does this happen? I'm going to go ahead and assume there are many less hole in ones on par 4s than par 3s.. So, this is really special! Congrats to him!

If we're counting tournament rounds, it's only happened once on the PGA Tour; Andrew Magee on the par-4 17th at the 2001 Phoenix Open.

That's an incredible shot!

Unfortunately, I'm neither lucky nor good!

I was reading somewhere else that they thought it was a terrible shot. I'm guessing even if the ball had stayed in the bunker, he had a great shot at birdie. Very lucky to get the hole in one, but it was definitely a good shot either way.

That's cool. He should run out and buy a lottery ticket. That is incredible. It almost appears there was a little troll hiding in that bunker and threw it out...
