Watch: Hubbard’s ‘embarrassing’ hole-in-one

Mark Hubbard initially thought his tee shot was going to be way off the green. 

At the Rocket Mortgage Classic on Thursday, Mark Hubbard dropped his club in disgust after hitting his tee shot at the par-3 11th, only to get a hole-in-one.

“I mean, honestly, it was pretty embarrassing,” the American told the PGA Tour website after signing for a 4-under 68, four shots behind early leaders Tony Finau and Taylor Pendrith.

“Didn’t quite know where the ball was going today. Taking a week off and whatever I just didn’t feel as spot on and I think I let go of the club on about three of the last four shots as well and they all ended up OK. I just felt really stuck and I thought it was going to be way right off the green.

“I looked up and it was a perfect 1-yard draw. It landed and trickled in like a putt. Yeah, I think that’s probably going to end up being one of my favorite hole-in-ones I ever had just because of the situation.”
