Par 4 Hole Tee Shot Hole-in-One... "Why It's a Birdie, Not an Albatross"

Grant BMW Ladies Championship 4R 17th Hole
Second Shot Hole-in After First Tee Shot Hazard
Rare Record of 'Hole-in-Two' Not 'Hole-in-One' Made

Lin Grant (Sweden) recorded a 'Hole in Two' at a U.S. Women's Professional Golf (LPGA) Tour event.

Lynn Grant

On the 22nd, she sent her tee shot straight into the hole on the 17th hole (par 4) during the 4th round of the BMW Ladies Championship (total prize money $2.2 million) held at Seowon Hills Course, Seowon Valley CC, Paju, Gyeonggi Province (par 72, 6,369 yards). Although Grant's tee shot went directly into the hole, it was recorded as a birdie rather than an albatross. This was because her first tee shot went into the right hazard. Ultimately, Grant's second tee shot on this hole went into the hole, and her score for this hole was recorded as a birdie. It was a hole in two, not a hole in one, with an actual stroke count of three.

The 17th hole was set at 367 yards and 364 yards for the 1st and 2nd rounds, respectively. From the 3rd round, it was shortened to 250 yards, and it was played at 249 yards on this day as well. Grant is a second-year player who debuted on the LPGA Tour last year. She earned her first win on the U.S. stage at the Dana Open last July. This season, she ranks 5th in average score (70.29), 19th in Player of the Year standings (48th), and 27th in the money rankings ($890,511). Her current world ranking is 15th.
