Kim Chi made a hole-in-one at the 4th hole, a Par 3, measuring 148 yards (approximately 135 meters). Using a pitching wedge, she created a beautiful curve before the ball hit the ground and rolled into the hole.
" My feelings after watching the ball roll into the hole were indescribable. I was both happy and euphoric, like I was dreaming. It was a 148-yard shot, with a slight tailwind from the right. I used my pitching club, and the ball flew quite high. Looking at the ball's trajectory, I thought it would just land near the flag, but unexpectedly, the ball rolled a few times and went into the hole ," Kim Chi shared emotionally.
With this achievement, Kim Chi became the first athlete to score a Hole-in-one at this year's National Golf Championship. Previously, at the 2022 National Golf Championship at Vinpearl Golf Hai Phong , Le Chuc An and Nguyen Huy Thang both scored a Hole-in-one at the 17th hole.
