Brad Ross stepped up to the 13th tee at Anchorage Golf Course and used his range finder to find a yardage of 209 to the flag on the par-3. He then declared he had no club in his bag for that yardage, so he was going to lay up, because the long par-3 was really a short-par 4 for him anyways.

His playing partners all laughed and agreed the layup was appropriate, then watched Ross (No. 20) filet a 4-iron onto the green just short of the back flag. The ball bounced once and rolled toward the hole, breaking right to left and then it hit the flag.

Ross was saved the expense of buying a round in the clubhouse, because his golf ball did not disappear, but it did come to rest less than a foot from the hole for a tap-in eagle, I mean birdie, depending on what par you assign to the hole.
