Hitting a hole-in-one is no easy feet. In fact it’s pretty darn hard.

Some people- who are much smarter than you and I- have determined that the odds of making such a spectacular shot for the average person is one in 12,500.

If you happen to be a professional golfer, the odds for you are one in 2,500.

SMU junior Jenny Haglund doesn’t care about that fancy math mumbo-jumbo. Haglund just plays golf, and she continues to be awesome at it.

On the 17th hole on day two of the Anuenue Spring Break Classic at the Bay Course on Tuesday, Haglund made it in the Sport’s Center top ten worthy shots.

It was the cherry on top for SMU’s strong outing as a team. Haglund shot one-over par 73 to tie for fifth place heading into the final day.

The Mustangs managed to cut seven strokes off its first round score to card a 292. Only Oregon, UC Davis and San Jose State finished with better rounds.

SMU sits in sixth place in the 15 team field that features seven ranked teams.

“We played really well,” head coach Jeanne Sutherland said. “The team was focused and played with a great attitude. We had a handful of exciting shots which made for a fun round.”

Haglund’s ace came on the par-3, 131-yard 17th hole- her second eagle of the tournament. She leads SMU wirh seven birdies.

Haglund is tied with Bertine Strauss (Texas), Megan Osland (San Jose State) and Cathleen Santoso (Oregon) at one-over through two rounds. Andrea Wong (UC Davis) leads the field at five-under.

Lindsey McCurdy was par or better on 17 holes in her round, including three birdies, to shot two-under par 70. Jennifer Park enters the final round in a tie for 18th after shooting even-par 72.

“Jennifer and Lindsey were great,” Sutherland said. “Evelyn was strong for part of her round too. We are going to try and climb the leaderboard tomorrow. Hopefully our game carries over.”

Alexandra Rossi rounded out the SMU team score with a five-over 77. Evelyn Dole shot 79 while Alex Celli, playing as an individual, carded an 87.

The final round of the Spring Break Classic begins Wednesday at 12:45 p.m. CT/7:45 a.m. HST.
