Making a hole-in-one is an impressive feat. Doing it in 35-plus mile-per-hour winds? Even moreso.
That’s what Mike Weir, the 2003 Masters champion and 2024 International team Presidents Cup captain, did Tuesday during a practice round ahead of the PGA Tour Champions season-opening event in Hawaii.
Playing in a pro-am at the Mitsubishi Electric Championship at Hualalai Golf Course, Weir landed his tee shot on the green on the par-3 17th hole and then watched as the wind assisted in pushing his ball closer and closer to the hole before it dropped in the cup.
And it was all captured on video.
