Former Pirates Pitcher Drains a Hole-in-One ... Twice

by Chris Mottram

I guess you could say Steve Blass had a pretty successful day on the links with his fellow Pirates alumni Thursday:

↵↵Blass’s first hole-in-one Thursday at Greensburg County Club came with an 8-iron at the 154-yard, par-3 15th hole – because of the format, his fivesome started on the back nine.

↵His second ace came with a 7-iron on the 175-yard, par-3 seventh hole.

↵Golf Digest estimates the odds against a golfer having two holes-in-one in the same round at 67 million to 1.
