Feb9 TK FourAces

Is this the luckiest golf day ever? British golfers on holiday over in Arizona were stunned when four of the pros playing with them in a pro-am all made aces on the same day.
The PGA Tour’s finest were competing a couple of miles away at the FBR Open, but it was at the Scottsdale Classic Pro-Am at the nearby Grayhawk Golf Club’s Raptor Course where the action was. Of the 58 players who played, 4 players achieved holes in one and all within three hours of each other. Chris Compton and Rudolf Schurmann both aced No. 8, Gary Dewhurst aced No. 13, and PGA Professional Simon Lilly completed an extraordinary day by holing in one at No. 16.
After trawling through the record books, we can only find one similar occurrence: on the second day of the 1989 US Open, four players aced the 6th hole within the space of an hour and fifty minutes… though that record was helped by the pin’s location in the bottom of a dip.
