An 84-year-old woman named Mary Ann Wakefield won a new car at a basketball game. She was at the Ole Miss men’s basketball game when she competed in a contest. The contestants had to get a very difficult hole in one.
Mary Ann sank a 94-foot putt during the game. She lined it all up and looked pretty calm! As the ball was rolling, the announcer kept saying how good it looked. It truly was a great hit as the ball went right into the hole near an American flag!
