Xi Yu Lin celebrates birthday by winning a car with hole in one in Thailand

Xi Yu Lin got a heck of a birthday present during the second round of the Honda LPGA Thailand.

Lin, who was celebrating her 20th birthday the day before, hit a 22-degree hybrid on the 179-yard par 3 16th at Siam Country Club about 30 feet past the hole. At first it looked like it would just be an average shot. But as her shot landed on the back of the slop behind the hole, it started to roll back down the slope toward the hole, and eventually in the cup.

Lin said she saw the ball coming back down the slope but never saw it go in.
