immediately following his Thursday round.

That did not stop him from returning to Jennings Mill for this year's tournament. And did he do it in style. On the par-3 17th hole, he pulled out a 7-iron and hit it right at the flag. It landed about 3 feet in front of the hole and rolled in for an ace.

"This was the first hole-in-one that I have had in competition," Todd said after the round.
