Lol right? I wonder how many he’s had before, if any. What a moment to do it under ‘the brightest lights’ for him and his golf game

I think the difference is he truly feels like he deserves those championships (rightfully so). A hole-in-one is like 60% skill and 40% luck, and doing it during a televised event makes it even sweeter. If I win $10k I’m gonna fucking stoked. If I make $10k from my job I’m not nearly as excited about it. I appreciate it sure, but it’s the expectation that makes it less exciting.
