Chesson Hadley made his first career hole-in-one on the PGA Tour and charity is the big beneficiary. (video below)
Hadley aced the par-3, 160-yard 16th hole at Sedgefield Country Club in the final round of the Wyndham Championship and earned one million Wyndham Rewards Points for the charity Blessings in a Backpack, a non-profit organization that feeds school children in the United States who are at risk of going hungry.
Hadley, who started his round on the back nine, used a 9-iron for his patented draw and the ball landed about 10 feet past the hole, caught the slope and rolled at a perfect pace towards the cup. As it creeped towards the center of the hole, Hadley yelled, “Go in! Go in!”
It did and then he really lost his mind. He lifted both arms to the sky, leaped in the air, kicked his feet up, pumped his fist, high-fived a competitor’s caddie, hugged his own and screamed, “I did it!”
Yes, he did. Go crazy, Chesson!
