From now through the Ryder Cup, we'll highlight some of the weirdest, greatest, wildest and most unbelievable aces in history, for pros and amateurs alike. These are the Ace Chronicles, and if you have a notable ace of your own to contribute, email us and let us know. Today: A Minnesota miracle.
The date: June 2022. The scene: Minneapolis Golf Club. Our story begins with 13-year-old Preston Miller, a member of the St. Louis Park High golf team, acing the 121-yard 4th hole using a 7-iron. Bravo, lad! A memory for a lifetime, and not at all frustrating for those of us who have been playing for far longer without an ace!
As Preston was in the clubhouse celebrating, another player walked in, proclaiming that he'd just carded an ace of his own. This was Ricardo Fernandez, who had aced the 181-yard 16th hole. Two aces, same course, same day? That's an achievement in itself!After a wayward shot, Fernandez had been in the woods beside the club's 12th hole, which runs alongside the 7th, and found a Titleist Pro V1 with the monogram"SLP" on it, and the number 4 — Preston's number.
