It only took one round for the tournament director's prediction of a 2023 tournament ace to come true on Bandon Trails, No. 5
"I remember the year Charlie Mazzola made an ace on this hole," said Wlodkowski to the younger Kawasaki, Kevin.
"I predict someone is going to make an ace this year."
As both players joked about hoping it would be them who did it, the subject was dropped for rest of the round. But it was "out in the universe," as they say.
During Friday's first round at Bandon Trails, Kawasaki stood up to a 56-degree wedge on the short-but-tricky 5th hole. There are no pictures on the scorecard, but this hole is in fact, featured on the Bandon Trails card and media publications both physical and virtual everywhere. It's a stunner.
