On the 148-yard for the 14th hole of the Glen Arbor Golf Club, Spiranac managed to score a hole-in-one. In her first tweet on her ace, she simply said, “Made a hole in one in front of Gary Player.”
In the video as the ball is in the air, Player can be heard conferring his choice of club with his caddie. In the meantime someone said, “Go in…GO IN!”
It did, eliciting a round of applause and the hug mentioned earlier from The Black Knight. Spiranac reacted by saying: “Oh my God,” she said. “Did you get that?” Later she even shared the video on Twitter.
Anyone who scored an ace in front of the 9-time Major Champion, would probably have the same reaction.
