Report: Va. golfer makes 3 aces, shoots 57

Meet Patrick Wills, golf's "Mr. 57."

Wills, a 59-year-old former marine, took on Laurel Hills Golf Club in Lorton, Va., on Sunday as part of a 54-hole summer solstice tournament. After carding a 68 in the opening round, Wills shot an incredible 57 during the second round, highlighted by a trio of aces - including two holes-in-one on par 4s.

Laurel Hill, a par-71 layout which hosted the 2013 U.S. Amateur Public Links Championship, was set up by tournament director Michael Keating to get easier as the day of endurance progressed, meaning players moved up a tee box with each subsequent round.
