 | 1986 -- Enormous crowds strain at the gallery ropes in the hopes of seeing Palmer ace the same hole three consecutive days at the 1986 Chrysler Cup Pro-Am. Alas, Palmer's tee shot bounces off the green and into the rough. The Washington Post's Tom Boswell begins his story about Palmer's consecutive aces: "On Tuesday, Arnold Palmer made a hole in one. Yesterday, he returned and made a hole in a million." It calculates Palmer's played more than 40,000 par 3s and had made "only" 13 aces, and figures the odds of him acing the same hole twice in a row exceed 10 million-to-1. The first of several hundred telegrams and letters from well-wishers begins arriving at Palmer's Latrobe office congratulating him on the feat.
