Ha Na Jang aces par 4; first in LPGA history

Ha Na Jang made history Saturday at the Pure Silk Bahamas Classic with an albatross at the eighth hole at the Ocean Club on Paradise Island.

Jang is believed to be the first player to make a hole-in-one on a par 4 in LPGA history, according to the LPGA.

Jang holed her tee shot from 218 yards with a 3-wood.

“A little into the wind . . . Amazing shot,” Jang said.

Jang shot a 5-under-par 68 to move to 7 under overall.

Jang said it was her second albatross and her sixth hole-in-one, four of which she said came last year. Jang said two of her holes-in-one have come in competition.
