Albatross! Butler grad makes par 4 hole-in-one at Indy golf course

He was a rabid Butler University basketball fan, widely known as the Bulldog mascot in the days before Blue (the live dog mascot) really hit the scene. He relished being in the frenzy on the court.

But that exhilaration just doesn't quite compare to walking upon a serene green and realizing with one swing of your club, a tiny ball has plopped into the cup -- on a 239-yard par 4.

Brad Hamann, a 2004 Butler grad, Butler-Tarkington resident and Indianapolis real estate agent aced the 8th hole at Saddlebrook Golf Club Monday afternoon. It is such a rare feat that only two golfers on the PGA Tour have ever scored a hole-in-one on a par 4.
