Hole-in-one with the driver of the former Masters champion

Stadler scored an ace on the par3 hole, 169 yards long at Quarry Oaks Golf Club in Nebraska on the occasion of the Maui Jim charity golf tournament to help a children’s hospital in Illinois. In this phase, he plays with the driver, swings the club once with his dominant hand and does not need to draft the movement before launching the official shot. The ball passes the pennant into the back of the green and then into the hole.

The video of the event was posted by Dan Boever – the owner of the event organizer on his own Twitter page on August 26. In it, Boever challenged Stadler at the age of 68 to use a driver to play a par3 hole. “Okay. You own this place. Force me to drive the driver”, Stadler accepted and mumbled.

Because the video was stitched from the top and bottom cameras, Quarry Oaks asked Boever to corroborate the story. “I can confirm. At that time there were 10 witnesses at the teeing ground and some behind the green,” Boever tweeted.

According to the event rules, the owner of the hole-in-one hole mentioned above receives a million USD, but only applies to the recreational player. And Craig is at a professional level, so he doesn’t count.

Stadler was born in 1953, played professionally from the age of 23. From 1980 to 2003, he won 13 PGA Tour championships, including the Masters, then won nine more Cups in the Champions branch. In the international golf world, Stadler is nicknamed “The Hippopotamus” due to his mustache and physique.

Kevin – his son also followed and has two titles, divided equally between the PGA Tour and the European Tour. To date, they are the only father-son duo to win both these competitions.
