Couples on Woods' ace: 'I never have seen Tiger so excited'

LOS ANGELES – Tiger Woods revealed late last year that he’d made a hole-in-one during a casual round of golf in November at a club in La Quinta, California.

Although it should have been no surprise that a 14-time major champion made an ace, it was newsworthy because it was his first in 20 years.

Woods – who was playing with his son, Charlie, and Fred Couples – said it was his first hole-in-one since the now-defunct International tournament in Colorado in 1998.

On Tuesday, during a conference call for the Presidents Cup, Couples was asked about the ace.
