Slideshow: Bubba’s Hole-in-One

Published

Bubba Watson made a hole-in-one during his Wednesday practice round on Augusta National’s famed 16th hole, a par 3 that was measuring 161 yards.

Bubba was the first to tee off in his group, which included Scott Piercy and Rickie Fowler. His 9-iron shot landed right of the pin, but caught a slope that trickled the ball back down toward the hole.

Like Tiger Woods’ famous chip in during the 2005 Masters on the same hole, the ball sat on the edge of the cup before dropping in the hole.

Aces are awesome, but we’re pretty sure Bubba would have rather saved it for the tournament action that begins tomorrow morning.

Anyways, check out our slideshow which captures the aftermath of Watson’s hole in one.

Ah, the Valero Texas Open — a tournament as rich in history as it is in Texan charm. The event has been around since 1922, making it one of the oldest on the PGA Tour calendar.

Over the years, it’s been held at a variety of courses across the Lone Star State, but it’s found its home at TPC San Antonio in recent years. Some of the biggest names in golf have taken home the title here, including Arnold Palmer, Ben Hogan, Lee Trevino, and Ben Crenshaw. But the real star of the show? That would have to be the legendary Texan wind, which can turn a benign par-4 into a 500-yard monster faster than you can say “y’all.”

Per usual, GolfWRX was on site to check out what the pros are playing with the Masters just a week away.

GolfWRX was on site in Austin for the Dell Technologies Match Play where players had a short week of preparation prior to a long week of play with matches getting underway Wednesday.

As GolfWRXers well know, the tournament’s format is unique in that it is a match play event, meaning that players compete against each other in head-to-head matches rather than the traditional stroke play format. Over the years, the tournament has seen many great champions, including Tiger Woods, Phil Mickelson, and Rory McIlroy. Last year, Scottie Scheffler took down Kevin Kisner 4&3 and claimed the $2.1 million winner’s share.

There was plenty to see at Austin Country Club with six WITBs — including World No. 1 Scottie Scheffler, five general galleries, and several interesting pull-outs — including a look at a pair of Tom Kim’s custom Scotty Cameron putters.

Photos from the 2023 Valspar Championship

GolfWRX is live from the PGA Tour’s Valspar Championship at Innisbrook Resort’s challenging Copperhead Course in Palm Harbor, Florida. Designed by renowned architect Lawrence Packard, the Copperhead is best known for its three-hole finishing stretch called “The Snake Pit,” which bring hazards and high scores into play. The course’s signature hole is the par-3 15th, which requires a precise shot over water to a narrow green that is heavily guarded by bunkers.

Strategic shot-making and careful course management will be of prime importance this week, just as both elements were for our tour photographer in navigating the range and practice green en route to assembling nine general galleries and 14 WITBs — including Akshay Bhatia and Adam Hadwin!
