Donnie Bass of Durham had the shot of the day Monday during the Durham Senior Amateur Golf Championship's first round, hitting a hole-in-one on the 170-yard No. 17 at the Hillandale Golf Course.
The first ace of the two-year-old event, presented by G Data Software, was hit with a 7-wood and came with a prize, a 2011 Ford Edge donated by University Ford of Durham, event organizer Dink Andrews reported.
Bass shot a 76 and was eight shots behind Super Senior Division leader Bob Cox (3-under 68) of Gastonia. Durham's Lea Couch (70) was in second place.
Defending champion Don Slater (68) had the Senior Division lead, two ahead of Pinehurst's Rick Luzar. Ron Carpenter of Durham and Larry Boswell of Greensboro were another shot back at 71.
The second and final round for the full field of 120 golfers starts at 8:30 this morning, with players competing for $10,800 in prizes.
