Bubba Watson’s actions at the Indonesian Masters speak volumes

Umito November 2, 2024

LIV Golf star Bubba Watson had a stunning hole-in-one in the third round of the Indonesian Masters, then made the most incredible gesture for charity.

Watson, 45, had her hole-in-one on the 11th hole, then Phacara Khongwatmai achieved the same feat in the group behind 10 minutes later.

These assets resulted in the donation of two houses to Indonesian families in need through the charity Habitat Humanity Indonesia.

But after the round, Watson confirmed he would match the charity by donating a third house.

The Indonesian Masters is an international series event of the Asian Tour.

The hole-in-one marked the sixth of Watson’s career.

Watson used a pitching wedge on the 154-yard hole.

“Golf has helped tremendously all over the world,” said Watson, a two-time Masters champion.

“Despite all the charitable activities golf has brought, it’s very special to be a part of it.

“It’s an honor and I heard there was another hole-in-one right behind me, so someone has to match that so there are some families that will be helped.”

“So it’s an amazing thing that golf can do that for someone and be able to help people.”

The hole-in-one also helped Watson shoot a flawless round of 7-under 65 as he moved into third place on the solo leaderboard.

However, Watson is seven shots off the pace heading into the final round, as Canadian RT Lee moved into the lead with a 21-under par.

The RangeGoats GC captain was relegated from LIV Golf in 2024 but it is hoped he will be invited back for 2025.

Khongwatmai said: “I feel very lucky to be able to get a hole-in-one, and it’s double luck because a family can benefit from my luck.”

Abraham Tulung, General Manager of Resource Development of Habitat for Humanity Indonesia, said: “Habitat for Humanity Indonesia would like to express its deepest gratitude to Bubba Watson and Phachara Khongwatmai for their incredible hole-in-one at the BNI Indonesian Masters 2024.

“This remarkable achievement is more than just a golf milestone; it is a powerful blessing that will directly impact the life of a low-income family in Indonesia. We also extend our sincere thanks to BNI Indonesian Masters 2024 for their unwavering support. This partnership will help us build a better future for the families we serve.

Surprisingly, this isn’t the first time two players have made holes-in-one on the same hole during the same tour of the Asian Tour – it’s already happened on three different occasions.

In the second round of the 2015 Maybank Malaysian Open, Frenchman Gregory Bourdy and Australian Jake Higginbottom, six groups ahead, both holed the par-three 15th at Kuala Lumpur Golf & Country Club.

In the third round of the 2018 Fiji International at Natadola Bay Golf Course, Thailand’s Thitiphun Chuayprakong and New Zealand’s Kieran Muir both made the par three second. Thitiphun was two groups ahead. And in the second round of the 2019 New Zealand Open at Millbrook, Thailand’s Poom Saksansin and Australia’s Damien Jordan won the second round.
