Pro golfer Rickie Fowler didn’t win a major tournament on Monday. He did something better.
He aced a hole in a pro am, which triggered $1 million to be released to Ernie Els and his Els for Autism Foundation.
Fowler stepped up to the 19th hole tee box at Old Palm Golf Club in Florida knowing that if any golfer could sink the shot from 111 yards, the money would go toward autism programs and education.
Here’s what happened:
Els and his wife, Liezl, have a son who has autism, and they host the golf event every year.
What a great shot. What better timing.
