VILLAGE OF PINEHURST, N.C. – Jeremy Bittner picked a fine time for his first ace. The 33-year-old from Moon Township, Pennsylvania, took a little off a 6-iron on the par-3 fourth hole at Pinehurst No. 6. The number on the laser was 187, downhill but into the wind.
Bittner’s ace is the first in championship history at the U.S. Adaptive Open. He donated the ball to the USGA Museum.
“When it disappeared, I was actually like, oh, no, what happened,” said Bittner, “and then everybody started screaming and I was like, oh, that was a good thing.
