The last time Bo Van Pelt teed it up, he withdrew from the Workday Charity Open. Things went a little better on Thursday at the 3M Open.
Van Pelt, 45, is playing on a major-medical exemption and he had birdied four of his first six holes at TPC Twin Cities when a bogey at the seventh hole slowed his roll. That’s when Van Pelt stepped to the tee at the 195-yard eighth hole and lasered an iron that struck on the front of the green and pitched forward into the hole for an ace.
Van Pelt’s playing competitor Bronson Burgoon gave him a high-five (that’s a no-no Bronson!) while Burgoon’s caddie came running over to knock elbows.
Drinks are definitely on Van Pelt, who was 5 under through 15 holes on the day.
