DETROIT – Golf fan or not, a hole-in-one is an impressive feat -- especially when the ball first lands in a sand trap.
On Thursday, June 27, American golfer Nathan Lashley hit a 217-yard hole-in-one on his second hole at the Rocket Mortgage Classic in Detroit. The ball landed in the bunker and miraculously bounced out, rolling directly into the hole.
