Young Kyosuke Hara of Honolulu wasn’t sure where his tee shot ended up on the 165-yard 15th hole. He and partner Kyle Suppa both thought they had hit nice shots, but the flagstick was tucked behind a front bunker, and when Hara, who’d hit 8-iron, got to the green, he didn’t see his ball anywhere. He figured it had bounced over the back. Instead, his ball was in the hole, the first ace of the inaugural U.S. Amateur Four-Ball.
It was Hara’s first ace in competition, and the U.S. Golf Association asked for his Titleist Pro V1x to display it in the organization’s museum in Far Hills, N.
