Mark Knecht made a hole-in-one on the 143-yard 13th at U.S. Senior Open qualifying in Ohio, one hole after a chaotic confrontation over an errant drive.
His tee shot on the par-4 12th smashed a red pickup's windshield; after a three-minute search for the ball, the driver steered onto the fairway looking for whoever caused the damage.
Playing partners, caddies and rules officials did not identify Knecht during the exchange, and the driver eventually headed to the clubhouse to seek payment.
Knecht still finished the 12th with a triple bogey, then aced the next hole and signed for a 5-over 76 with a rare 7-and-1 sequence.
The amateur did not qualify for the U.S. Senior Open, but the two-hole stretch turned his round at Miami Valley Country Club in Dayton into a standout golf oddity.
