There is no applause in the press room. But there are two types of people in this world. Those who love Ben An and those without a soul.
An, arguably the best following on Golf Twitter (just the week, posted a photo of a failed attempt at his name in the PGA championship locker room) An is also a heck of a player, making his first appearance on the Presidents Cup last year and scoring two points for the international team. Despite some tough days at Harding Park, the 28-year-old is making the most of Sunday, making the shift in three unders.
That providence seemed to end in a par-5 tenth, as An saved in the easiest hole on the course. Only An decided to make up the difference at 11th par-3 with a hole-in-one.
For home scorers, this is the first ace of the tournament. However, Benny An’s beauty is not captured by this simple feat. It is the primal cheer he aroused from the green, followed by An’s free and raised response met by a good-natured laugh from partner Sepp Straka.
In short, find something in life that you enjoy as much as Ben An enjoys life.
