The ‘straight’ is important here, because longer holes-in-one ‘on the card’ have been recorded, but those holes were doglegs, requiring less travel time.
Mitera, 21 at the time, and not a powerful man at 5ft 6in tall, did not see the ball drop, as the hole played sharply downhill. But his ace, helped along by a strong tailwind, was witnessed by the group ahead.
