Ryan Moore came very close to the first par-4 hole-in-one since Andrew Magee at TPC Scottsdale.

Several of you noted that CBS's Ian Baker-Finch criticized the reaction of the ball after clipping the cup. He was referring to the 2009 changes to the hole by the Fazio Design crew that deepened the run-off and which have tainted the hole's reputation this week when combined with the amazingly firm, fast conditions. I wrote about the changes back then.

Anyway, what's done is done. The shot can still be savored:
