In the fifty four U.S. Open Championships held prior to 1989, only seventeen holes-in-one had been registered. At the 1989 U.S. Open Championship at Oak Hill Country Club in Pittsford, New York, a new record was about to be established.
In just over 90 minutes four aces were made on the 160-yard sixth hole. USGA officials cut the hole in a trough. Nearly every shot that hit behind the hole funneled into the trough and towards the cup. Doug Weaver, playing in his first Open, was the first to make an ace. He was then followed by Mark Wiebe, Jerry Pate and lastly, Nick Price.
