McWhorter Scores Hole-in-One, Wins Pot

McWhorter picks his HIO ball out of the hole

    Travis McWhorter selected his club and took his place on the 12th tee box as the lead-off man for his group of golfing companions and proceeded to nail a five-iron to the green of the 125-yard hole. The ball landed 20 feet short of the hole and continued to roll the remaining distance into the hole for McWhorter's second career hole-in-one.
     McWhorter's feat came at the two-man team ASGA tournament held on Tuesday. Along with the HIO accomplishment he also won the pot of approximately $375. McWhorter shared his time in the spotlight by buying several golfers their choice of liquid refreshment after the round.
     The hole-in-one was witnessed by his golfing partner, Don Visness, and his fellow golfers, Sam Jenkins and Don Pratt. McWhorter, understandably happy, when asked about the use of  a five-iron on a 125-yard hole,  laughingly noted that the shot,"was a knock-down five-iron."
