Video: Bos's USGA Four-Ball Ace At Pacific Dunes
/The USGA's Ron Driscoll has the story of Marie Bos, who recorded an ace at Pacific Dunes during round one of the inaugural USGA Women's Amateur Four-Ball Championship.
Bos is a senior market research manager for Golf Digest and is teamed with Courtney Tincher.
Driscoll writes that the Bos team is in as an alternate and Tincher is playing with a broken foot. Oh and Bos was playing with non-conforming clubs so she had to use a rental set for her irons.
The pair struggled to three consecutive double bogeys coming in to finish at 4-over 76 for the day.
“I made my hole-in-one with my all-time favorite club, my 7-wood,” said Bos, 29. “The club is an older club – OK, it’s actually vintage, but I don’t care. I made a hole-in-one with it.”
It was Bos’s second recent milestone on the golf course, having gotten engaged to Nate Burns, of Washington, D.C., on New Year’s Eve on the seaside seventh hole at Pebble Beach Golf Links.
“I guess I like the West Coast,” said Bos. “I met him on match.com, and his screen name had Pacific Dunes in it.”
