GREENSBORO, N.C. – Ain’t no mountain high enough for PGA TOUR rookie Joe Highsmith, who inscribed his name in the TOUR record book Saturday in the Wyndham Championship’s second round.
Highsmith became the first player on record to make three aces in a PGA TOUR season since 1983, making a hole-in-one at the 189-yard, par-3 12th hole at Sedgefield Country Club. Highsmith’s ball landed roughly 25 feet past the hole, caught a ridge and trickled back gently into the cup.
Highsmith, 24, previously carded aces at this year’s Rocket Mortgage Classic (fifth hole, second round at Detroit Golf Club) and The American Express (13th hole, second round at PGA West’s Stadium Course).
