Glover Wins Car With Hole-in-One at Mercedes Champsionships

Jan. 9, 2006

Lucas Glover aced the 203-yard par-3 8th hole at Kapalua on Saturday to win a new car at the Mercedes Champsionships. His 5-iron shot bounced twice and went into the cup for the first ace in the eight-year history at Kapalua, which won him a Mercedes-Benz worth $83,375.

“I don’t know what happened,” Glover said. “I was just trying to get it up on that top level. That’s a tough hole with that wind. It lined up pretty good, then it was just a matter of distance, whether a wind hit it right or not.”
