[Asia Economy Reporter No Woo-rae] ○…Major League Baseball New York Yankees outfielder Aaron Hicks (USA) made a hole-in-one on a par-4 hole.

According to Golf.com on the 19th (Korean time), "Hicks recorded a hole-in-one at Silverleaf Golf Club in Scottsdale, Arizona, USA." The ball hit with a 3-wood tee shot on a 303-yard par-4 hole went straight into the hole. In terms of score, it reduces three strokes at once, and in terms of probability, it is naturally more difficult than a hole-in-one on a par-3 hole, called an 'Albatross.' According to PGA Tour.com, the probability of a hole-in-one on a par-4 hole is 1 in 6 million.

Generally, the probability of a hole-in-one is 1 in 12,000, and an albatross is 1 in 2 million. Cheyenne Woods (USA), a member of the LPGA Tour and niece of the 'resurrected golf emperor' Tiger Woods, shared a video of Hicks retrieving the ball from the hole. Hicks is a powerful hitter who hit a home run off Ryu Hyun-jin (34, Toronto) last year. He is also showing considerable talent in golf. His handicap is '0', and his drive shot distance is 330 yards.
