Teenage ace machine
DOTHAN, Ala. (AP) -- A South Carolina youngster recorded two holes-in-one while competing in the 11-12 age group at the Future Masters.
Blake Hadden, a 12-year-old from North Augusta, S.C., aced the 83-yard No. 5 hole in Tuesday's final round at the Dothan Country Club with a 6-iron. He also had a hole-in-one with a 140-yard shot on No. 11 in Sunday's opening round, using a 4-iron.
"It's something I would have never dreamed of," Blake said. "I think it was probably a one-time only deal."
It is believed to be the first time a competitor has hit two hole-in-ones at the Future Masters, The Dothan Eagle reported Wednesday. Blake had never hit one before the 54-hole tournament, an event held at Dothan for junior golfs.
Grayson Murray of Raleigh, N.C., won the 11-12 age group. Huntsville's Hogan Vaughn outlasted Mobile's Bobby Wyatt in a playoff that lasted five holes to win the 13-14 age group.
Scott Scheffler of Dallas won the 10-and-under competition.
Blake's feat helped make up for his disappointing finish, tied for 34th in his age group.
"I didn't really play that well," he said. "But I wont ever forget this."
