Hayden Buckley, 27, is still searching for his first PGA Tour victory, but he did something only 10 golfers have done at TPC Sawgrass since 1991.
An Auburn student's hole-in-one won a new Toyota. Local news said this was the first time a student hit the putt since the 2013-14 basketball season.The opening round of the Players Championship started off with fireworks Thursday: PGA Tour pro Hayden Buckley converted a hole-in-on on the iconic island green at TPC Sawgrass.
With the front-hole location for Thursday's round, Buckley opted for a pitching wedge. Off the tee, his shot came out at 106 miles per hour and lofted to an apex of 81 feet, before it fell on the green, about 20 feet past the hole and slightly to the right. The ball bounced and caught a slope, allowing it to carry enough pace to roll into the cup.
Buckley, who started the opening round of the Players Championship on the back-nine and was part of the second group to reach No. 17 Thursday, took off jogging in celebration and threw his cap into the air. He high-fived the other golfers and caddies in his group and tossed his club in jubilation.This marks only the 10th time since 1991 that a PGA Tour pro has converted a hole-in-one at No. 17 during the Players Championship.in the FedEx Cup Standings.
