England’s Luke Donald was celebrating the unique prize of a ‘Holiday for Life’ after acing the par three, 16th hole on day one of the Wyndham Championship.
Donald hit a 9-iron into the 159-yard hole for only his second ace in a pro tournament and with one each now on the PGA Tour and European Tour.
“I had just come off having hit it in a hazard on 15, made a good par but came up to 16 and had a perfect number, downhill a little bit, 159 and it was playing straight downwind and good 9-iron for me and looked good all the way,” said Donald.
“I hit it a foot short and the ball went in the hole.
“It’s a bonus when it goes in, obviously, and nice to win a holiday for life. Apparently that’s what I got for it.
“And to win a holiday for the rest of my life, that sounds like a great deal. Yeah. Unique prize. Happy to be on the right side of it.
“I guess I get a holiday for life from the Wyndham properties around the world and my caddy gets a holiday for a week as well. Little bonus for him for picking the right club, finally. No, it’s a nice interesting prize. Glad to use that well.”
