The golf ball didn’t fall far from the tee.
Will Sorenstam, the 11-year-old son of legendary golfer Annika Sorenstam, aced the No. 5 hole and shot 24 on The Cradle, a nine-hole par-3 course at Pinehurst on Wednesday.
Will and his sister Ava returned to the short course after playing it as a family, with Mom included, on Tuesday.
Annika’s husband Mike McGee share the news of his son’s hole-in-one with a tweet that read: “My man!! While we were practicing, he aced the 5th at #thecradle.”
Annika Sorenstam told members of the media during a speech at Pine Needles before the premiere of her “Becoming Annika” documentary film that she and Will shared a special connection on the course.
