Is this the best pro-am prize ever?
Monday pro-ams are generally pretty rare and pretty functional but Austin Ernst kicked off her week on the LPGA Tour in ridiculous style. The American was playing the 147-yard 12th at the Pelican Women's Championship and he club of choice was the 8-iron.
"I did see it go in," Ernst said. "I hit it fairly off the toe, but it was right on line. And it landed on the green and I was like, Ooh, that's got a chance."
Ernst was then given the keys to a Lamborghini, which she will have a two-year lease of, after recording her fourth and most memorable hole-in-one. She now has four aces but but this was the first to feature a prize.
"It feels like it's pretty fast," she added.
Then Pavarisa Yoktuan followed Ernst in during the second round of the tournament and her reaction was understandably jubilant.
