South Korean golfer In Gee Chun hit the shot in the 17th hole of the 3rd round in the LPGA Chevron Championship at The Club at Carlton Woods in The Woodlands
A spectacular hole-in-one shot just brought thousands of dollars to Houston area youth, thanks to an LPGA competitor.
Chevron, the title sponsor of the LPGA's first major of the year, pledged to donate $1,000,000 for the tournament's first hole-in-one. A tournament official told ABC13 the money will go to its nine diversity, inclusion, and education partners. "It's definitely a game changer," Brian Ladet, the First Tee-Greater Houston executive director, said.
"This will give us the tools to reach more young ladies here in our community, exposing them to the great game of golf," Ladet added.
