A crisply struck 9 iron started a little right of the flag, and rode the wind, landed 10 feet short of the pin, and rolled right into the cup!

I pulled out my trusty 60 degree wedge. I had a perfect lie and there was no wind. I hit the ball cleanly, the ball headed straight to the flag, and went in the cup, no bounce,  for eagle!
